Cocktail Description

The Orange Gin Martini turns the classic gin cocktail into a sunset-colored sipper with a bright citrus punch that'll make you wonder why you haven't tried this variation sooner.

This elegant twist on the traditional martini combines the juniper-forward botanicals of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the subtle herbal notes of Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth, while Grand Marnier adds a luxurious orange sweetness that perfectly balances the drier components. You'll taste a gorgeous interplay of citrus oils, warm spice, and subtle floral notes that evolve as the drink slowly dilutes over ice. This cocktail works beautifully for dinner parties or sophisticated gatherings where you want something slightly more approachable than a bone-dry martini. It's remarkably simple to prepare—just stir and strain—making it perfect for both beginner and experienced home bartenders. The Orange Gin Martini pairs wonderfully with rich seafood dishes like butter-poached lobster or seared scallops, though it's equally at home alongside a cheese board featuring aged Gouda or Manchego.
