Cocktail Description
The Rutte Rouge Martini transforms the classic martini into a vibrant ruby-hued affair that balances crisp gin with sweet-tart fruitiness.
This eye-catching cocktail delivers a sophisticated blend of botanical gin backbone, orange liqueur depth, and bright citrus notes, all enhanced by the pomegranate richness of real grenadine. The result is a perfectly balanced drink that's simultaneously refreshing and complex—crisp enough to wake up your palate while offering layers of flavor that unfold with each sip. Surprisingly simple to prepare despite its elegant appearance, the Rutte Rouge requires just a vigorous shake and fine strain into a chilled martini glass. It's perfect for cocktail hour gatherings or as a pre-dinner aperitif when you want something more adventurous than a traditional martini. This versatile sipper pairs beautifully with Mediterranean appetizers like olives and feta, seafood dishes, or even spicy Asian cuisine where its fruit-forward character can complement bold flavors.
