Cocktail Description

Like a tropical storm in a glass, the Green Glacier Martini delivers an electrifying punch of flavors that dance between herbal complexity and bright island vibes.

This bold cocktail marries the fiery intensity of Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum with the botanical richness of Green Chartreuse, creating a surprisingly harmonious base that's both powerful and nuanced. The fresh lime juice cuts through with essential acidity, while Avuá Falernum adds subtle notes of clove, ginger, and almond that round out the drink's sharp edges. Despite its strength, the Green Glacier remains remarkably balanced—refreshing yet complex enough to warrant slow sipping. It's perfect for warm summer evenings or as a pre-dinner conversation starter when you want something more adventurous than a classic martini. While it requires specific ingredients that might not be in every home bar, the preparation itself is straightforward: a simple shake and strain. Pair it with spicy Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken or grilled seafood with tropical fruit salsas to complement its bold flavor profile.
