Cocktail Description

The Silver Martini transforms the classic martini into a subtly fruited affair that captures spring in a glass.

This elegant cocktail balances the botanical character of Beefeater gin with just the right touch of Luxardo maraschino liqueur, creating a drink that's dry and sophisticated with gentle cherry undertones. The extra dry vermouth keeps things crisp while orange bitters add depth and complexity. It's surprisingly simple to make despite its refined flavor profile—just shake, strain, and garnish with a luxurious Luxardo cherry. Perfect for cocktail hour or as an aperitif before a nice dinner, this drink shines when you want something slightly more interesting than a standard martini without venturing into overly sweet territory. The Silver Martini pairs wonderfully with light appetizers like marcona almonds, mild cheeses, or even sushi, where its subtle fruit notes complement rather than compete with delicate flavors.
