Cocktail Description

Imagine a swirl of summer sunshine captured in a glass—that's the Webster Martini in all its golden glory.

This sophisticated cocktail blends the botanical complexity of Beefeater London Dry Gin with the luscious stone fruit character of Giffard Abricot Du Roussillon, while Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth provides structure and depth. Fresh lime juice cuts through the sweetness with bright acidity, creating a perfectly balanced sip that's simultaneously fruity, tart, and subtly herbaceous. The Webster Martini makes a fantastic aperitif for warm summer evenings or an elegant addition to brunch gatherings—though its vibrant flavor profile works year-round when you need a taste of sunshine. It's relatively straightforward to prepare, requiring only basic shaking technique and proper chilling of your martini glass for optimal presentation. This cocktail pairs beautifully with light appetizers like goat cheese crostini, prosciutto-wrapped melon, or even spicy Asian-inspired dishes where the fruit notes can complement and cool the heat.
