Sussex Martini Recipe

Ingredients 
Seven Sisters Gin
Seven Sisters Dry White Vermouth
Water that melts from the ice

Prepare your Glass
Place your martini glass in the freezer till ice cold. (If youdon’t have the time, simply fill your empty glass with ice before making the martini and pour it out just before you pour the martini in.)

Mix the Drink

• We recommend a ratio of 6 Gin to 1 Vermouth.
• Pour your ice into a mixing glass then strain to get rid of any water and small shards of ice. (Bigger cubes of ice are better as they dilute more slowly).
• Pour in your Gin and Vermouth and start stirring. Stirring helps melt some of the water to combine the Vermouth and the Gin. It’s one of those things that you just get a feel for, like cooking a steak, do it enough times you just know when to take it off the heat.

Top Tip

Once the drink is really cold, use a straw like a pipette or use your bar spoon to put a drop on your hand and try it. You shouldn’t be able to separately taste the bitterness of the Vermouth and the sharp edge of the alcohol of the Gin. If you can, keep stirring and keep trying. Until the flavours combine into one.
