Cocktail Description

A martini reimagined through a kaleidoscope of citrus and bitters, delivering all the sophistication of the classic with a surprising burst of brightness.

The Citrus Chapeau Martini balances the botanical punch of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the orange sweetness of Giffard Triple Sec, while two vermouths—dry and sweet—create a perfect tension between crisp and lush. Fresh lemon juice cuts through with vibrant acidity, and Angostura bitters add a complex spice foundation that ties everything together. Despite its impressive ingredient list, this cocktail is surprisingly approachable to make at home, requiring just a good shake with ice and a fine strain into a chilled martini glass. Perfect for spring gatherings or sophisticated dinner parties, the Citrus Chapeau shines as both an aperitif and alongside lighter fare like grilled fish, roasted chicken, or even a charcuterie board featuring creamy cheeses. The Luxardo cherry garnish doesn't just look pretty—it offers a sweet-tart punctuation mark to each sip.
