Cocktail Description

The In And Out Martini transforms the classic cocktail into an ethereal experience where gin and vermouth dance together in perfect balance.

This sophisticated approach to a martini delivers a delicate flavor profile where the botanical notes of Beefeater gin shine through with just a whisper of vermouth coating the ice—creating a drier, more nuanced drink than traditional preparations. The gentle shaking technique (rather than stirring) introduces tiny air bubbles that lighten the mouthfeel while maintaining the cocktail's signature clarity. Perfect for elegant dinner parties or whenever you want to elevate a Friday evening at home, this cocktail pairs beautifully with briny appetizers like oysters, marcona almonds, or a simple cheese board featuring aged manchego. While it requires a bit more technique than a standard martini, mastering the vermouth-coating method is well worth the effort, as it allows you to customize the dryness to your exact preference. Choose between a lemon twist for bright citrus aromatics or an olive for a savory finish that complements the gin's herbaceous character.
