Saffron and Bitter Orange Martini

1 2⁄3 oz Gin, Gabriel Boudier Saffron
2 1⁄2 t Bianco Vermouth, Dolin
2 1⁄2 t Orange Curaçao, Marie Brizard (Dry or any bitter orange liqueur)
1 ds Orange bitters, Bitter Truth Orange
Instructions

Stir and strain into a martini glass

Notes

Originally made at Mother's Ruin Gin Palace using liqueurs and bitters we make on site. But I think a good version could be made using commercially available ingredients. A good orange bitters of any brand, and a bitter orange liqueur such as dry curaçao should stand in well

  • I like it, but it needs something to provide some dynamic tension. I think that next time I will muddle in some black pepper, then double strain.

Curated this: Capitalized the name of the drink. Cleaned up the notes section quite a bit - added Gabriel Boudier Saffron as a brand of gin. Corrected Dolin entry to Blanc Vermouth. Cleaned up the instructions - removed the recap of the drink. Thanks, Zachary

Subbed in Sipsmith for the Gin. Subbed in Cocchi Extra Dry for the vermouth. Added in cracked smoked black pepper and shook as though there were citrus. Added half a star, IMHO.
