Three Easy Martini Recipes
Martini is calling for us all to recognise and value this time spent together. The simple pleasure of breaking bread and sharing a drink. Telling our stories, reliving memories and making plans. This is the joy of an afternoon Aperitivo – what we like to call Martini Time. It's time for us to open up, let our guard down and truly be ourselves.
MARTINI BIANCO & TONIC
Transforming MARTINI Bianco into a long drink, ice-cold tonic water softens the sweet vanilla notes of the white vermouth for a crisper, cleaner finish. A ratio of 50/50 vermouth and tonic ensures a perfect balance of flavours, while the balloon glass, packed with ice, will help concentrate the fragrant botanicals, for a more intensely aromatic experience.
