Cocktail Description

Bright, brisk, and bursting with citrus, the Citrus Fizz Martini delivers a sophisticated twist on the classic martini that wakes up your taste buds with its first sip.

This elegant cocktail combines the botanical complexity of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the orange-forward sweetness of Giffard Triple Sec, while fresh pink grapefruit juice adds a perfect balance of tartness and subtle bitterness. The fine straining technique ensures a silky texture, while the orange zest garnish contributes aromatic oils that enhance the drinking experience. Simple to craft at home with just three main ingredients, it requires only basic bartending skills and equipment—just remember that a proper shake with plenty of ice is key to achieving the right temperature and dilution. This refreshing cocktail shines as an aperitif at dinner parties or as a weekend brunch accompaniment, particularly when paired with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp, smoked salmon, or even a light ceviche whose flavors will complement the bright citrus notes.
