Cocktail Description
The Peggy Martini transforms the classic martini template into something wickedly complex and delightfully mysterious.
This sophisticated cocktail combines the botanical punch of London Dry gin with the herbal complexity of dry vermouth, while absinthe's anise notes create an intriguing aromatic foundation. The Lillet Rouge adds subtle fruit and spice that balances the drink's herbaceous character, resulting in a cocktail that's dry yet approachable with layered flavors that unfold with each sip. Perfect for evening gatherings or as a contemplative nightcap, the Peggy Martini makes an impressive addition to your cocktail repertoire without requiring obscure ingredients or advanced techniques. Its complex flavor profile pairs beautifully with savory appetizers like stuffed mushrooms, olive tapenade, or aged cheeses that can stand up to its bold character. The finishing orange twist brightens the drink visually while adding a subtle citrus aroma that ties the various botanical elements together.
