Forget the ultra-dry “Bone Dry” trend — top bars worldwide are returning to the “Wet Martini”. With more vermouth, the drink becomes softer, more aromatic and far less fiery. This balance lets the Illusionist Gin’s floral notes shine at their brightest.
- 6cl Illusionist Dry Gin
- 2cl blanc vermouth (e.g., Belsazar White or Lillet Blanc)
- 1 dash orange bitters
- Lemon zest
Add gin, vermouth and bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir for about 30 seconds until silky. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupette. Beyond the classic zest, finish with 1–2 sprays of Blackberry Scent over the glass. The deep berry aroma fuses instantly with the gin’s floral profile.
