Creating new Martinis is fairly easy and a lot of fun. Here’s how.
Category: aperitif style cocktails
Orange Negroni
A great light, summer twist on the classic Negroni.
Brightly coloured Martinis
I developed these brightly coloured Martinis inspired by the cocktails of the 80s.
Hugo Spritz
The Hugo Spritz appears to be the cocktail everyone is talking about at the moment. Let me explain why.
1919 Sour
The 1919 Sour is a cocktail I discovered while staying away. Aperol based but low alcohol with full taste and a great look.
Vermouth – back in fashion for cocktail making
Vermouth is a key cocktail ingredient and as such is the 6th of my liqueur types. You need some to make both classic and modern cocktails.
Nogroni & variants
Try this alcohol free version of a classic cocktail. The Nogroni fits the bill.
What is a proper Martini?
A proper martini is a mixed drink based around gin or vodka and vermouth. Only.
You need these 5 standbys
These 5 standbys are essential for a range of cocktails. And they’re all inexpensive. Make sure you’ve got them to hand.
My frustration with the Martini brand
My frustration with the Martini brand is that they launch new products in the UK and then don’t support them. Surprise, surprise the newest 2 have now been dropped. It’s a problem!
Long Tall Sally
A great champagne cocktail with 4 ingredients. Make it in batches and it’s worth the effort.
The day I met Joyce & Raissa de Haas
I met the twin founders of Double Dutch range of tonics and mixers at a trade show.
