Bartender top tips
I created this brand new hybrid cocktail rift of the classic ‘G&T’ and the classic ‘Dry Martini Cocktail’.
The Leggero Martini Cocktail (Leggero meaning “light” in ABV in Italian) is set to #stircreativity with its ability to adapt to an imbibers personal preferences. The core recipe is equal parts gin, tonic and vermouth with a citrus peel garnish. It’s up to you what those 4 choices are – imagine the possibilities!
To inspire you, here are some combinations that we’ve enjoyed already:
– Bombay Sapphire / MARTINI Rosso / Fever-Tree Lemon Tonic / lemon
– Bombay Sapphire English Estate / MARTINI Extra Dry / Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic / lime
– Star of Bombay / MARTINI Fiero / Folkington’s Earl Grey Tea Tonic / orange
