34 THE ORIGINAL 2-1 ORIGINAL MARTINEZ Tanqueray No. 10 London Dry Gin Dolin Blanc Vermouth / Lemon Bitters 添加利 10 号金酒 / 杜凌白味美思 / 柠檬苦精 Back to the origins of the Dry Martini we know today. A generous portion of London Dry Gin served with a half portion of dry Vermouth from France. Its a recipe which gives way to the herbal notes of the dry vermouth, creating a velvety mouthfeel. Genever / Mancino Rosso / Mancino Secco / Maraschino Liqueur / Angostura Bitters 荷式金酒 / 曼奇诺红味美思 / 曼奇诺干味美思 / 路萨朵樱桃利口酒 / 安高天娜苦精 This authentic Martinez calls for Genever, the Grandfather of gin from Holland, a few dashes of Angostura Bitters and a mix of sweet vermouth & dry vermouth. Aromatic and rich, almost treading in Manhattan territory, this is where the Dry Martini originated from. DIFFORD S PREFERRED 5:1 THE 50/50 MARTINI 1:1 City of London / Mancino Secco Vermouth Orange Bitters 伦敦城伦敦干金酒 / 曼奇诺干味美思 / 橙味苦精 Simon Diffords is one of the references when it comes to Martinis and this is said to be the golden ratio. This ratio favours juniper-forward Gins. Citadelle Orginal Gin / Mancino Secco Vermouth Orange Bitters 魏城金酒 / 曼奇诺干味美思 / 橙味苦精 A modern version of the Dry Martini, far lower in ABV that allows you to enjoy multiple tipples in the evening. It is crucial to have a high quality vermouth and the dashes of orange bitters to bring the components into perfect harmony. DUKE FAMOUS 9-1 RATIO MO BAR WANGFUJING REVERSE MARTINI 3:7 Frozen Malfy con Limone Gin / Mancino Secco Vermouth / Orange Bitters 冰冻玛儿妃柠檬风味金酒 / 曼奇诺干味美思 / 橙味苦精 At the Duke s in London, there is an unspoken rule where you cannot have more than 2 martinis, it is with good reason. Vermouth just barely kissed the glass and the gin comes straight from the freezer, there is no dilution. City of London Old Tom Gin / Mancino Bianco Ambrato / Mancino Secco / Seedlip Garden 108 / Grapefruit Bitters 伦敦城老汤姆金酒 / 曼奇诺白味美思 /Seedlip 108 无酒精烈酒 / 西柚味苦精 / 曼奇诺干味美思 Now that you have tried some of the most iconic Martinis, time to discover ours! We enjoy our martinis light and refreshing and this is a perfect expression of what we like!
