The Superlative

2 1⁄2 oz Gin

1⁄2 oz Bianco Vermouth, Carpano Bianco
1 bsp Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1 rinse Absinthe
1 twst Lemon zest
Instructions

Stir all but zest with ice; stir; strain into coupe; garnish with lemon.

Notes

Rewritten after I realised I'd made a complete hash of the proportions. As written now it's as I intended it. Improved, you might say.

History

The concept - an improved, perfect Martini - was quickly followed by the name. Put an olive in as well, if you really want to get carried away.

  • Opted for the olive. Lovely clear light gold. Balance is quite nice: Piny-ness and bite of the gin is quite tamed, but other ingredients agree to be quiet together, and sweetness seems right.

Shawn C commented on 3/25/2024:

Very nice! The punch of the ginger pairs well with Larceny bourbon here, making for a full flavored Tiki sour without rum. I used Lustau Oloroso, and while the darker sherry notes are subtle due to the small quantity, they do add positively to the body.
