Cocktail Description
Imagine a crystalline martini with an unexpected kiss of mint that transforms this classic into a refreshing yet sophisticated sip.
The Caruso Martini brings together the botanical complexity of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the herbal whispers of Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth, while the Tempus Fugit Crème De Menthe adds a crisp, cool undertone that doesn't overwhelm the drink's martini character. Its flavor profile balances juniper sharpness with cooling mint for a cocktail that feels both familiar and surprising. Perfect for summer evenings or as a palate-cleansing aperitif before dinner, this cocktail works wonderfully at garden parties or sophisticated gatherings where you want something a touch more interesting than a standard martini. Even novice home bartenders can craft this drink with ease—just remember that a proper shake and fine strain are key to achieving its silky texture. Pair this refreshing cocktail with lighter fare like seafood canapés, cucumber sandwiches, or even chocolate mint desserts for a complementary dining experience.
