Cocktail Description
Where perfect balance meets bold aromatics, the Knickerbocker Martini transforms the classic cocktail into something unexpectedly refreshing.
This sophisticated twist on the traditional martini brings together the botanical punch of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the herbal complexity of Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth, while Martini & Rossi Rosso adds a subtle sweetness that rounds out the edges. The result is a perfectly balanced cocktail with bright citrus notes, juniper backbone, and a silky texture that showcases the best qualities of each ingredient. Simple to prepare—just stir and strain—it's an approachable cocktail for home bartenders looking to elevate their mixing skills beyond the basics. Perfect for pre-dinner sipping or evening gatherings when you want something spirited yet refined, this martini particularly shines alongside Mediterranean-inspired appetizers like marinated olives, manchego with quince paste, or even oysters with mignonette. The orange zest garnish isn't just decorative—it releases essential oils that complement the gin's botanicals beautifully.
