La Parie

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Tanqueray
1 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur, Luxardo
1 twst Lemon peel
Instructions

Stir with ice until well chilled and strain into a very cold glass

Notes

A twist on the Martini adding Maraschino sweetens but also gives a 2:1 Martini an interesting flavour. You can go to 0.5oz of the Maraschino but personally I find that a little too sweet

History

Made this one up in France, where Lillet is cheap and plentiful! There must be a recipe using these ingredients out there but I am yet to find it!

  • Equally good with Rittenhouse or Wild Turkey 101
  • Made with Bulleit 95 and Cointreau.
  • Made this with 80° rye and it was nice--can see how overproof whiskey would be even better.

  • Use 1/2-2/3 specified agave
  • I halved the agave and with that it was just about perfect. I think with the full half oz it would have been too sweet.
  • Cynar works great in this! — ★★★★★

shadowkirby commented on 10/05/2024:

Following the comments, I think 1/4 oz agave was not quite enough although still a good drink, but 1/3 oz agave made it very accessible. A great mezcal forward drink.

  • Excellent.
  • Expensive drink to make due to all the green chartreuse — ★★★★
