Recipe Cocktail Martinique: Vermouth and Rum with a Twist
The Martinique Cocktail is a blend of red vermouth, rum, and orange bitter, served with ice and citrus slices. Add a unique touch by caramelizing the orange slice and sprinkling a dash of cinnamon. Always remember to drink responsibly!
Instructions
- Take a cocktail shaker and fill it with plenty of ice cubes to cool the mix.
- Pour the red vermouth and rum into the shaker in the indicated proportion.
- Add two spritz of orange bitter to give the cocktail a citrusy flavor and a bitter note to balance the sweetness of the vermouth.
- Close the shaker and shake it vigorously for a few seconds to perfectly blend the ingredients and further chill the drink.
- Serve the cocktail in a lowball glass, straining the content of the shaker to retain the ice cubes.
- Complete the presentation by adding a slice of orange and a slice of lemon directly into the glass, giving a fresh and aesthetic touch to your creation.
Notes
To add a unique twist to your Martinique cocktail, you can lightly caramelize the slice of orange before placing it in the glass. This will not only add a sweet note but also a smoky aroma that pairs perfectly with the warm notes of the rum. Additionally, you could sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the cocktail before serving to intensify the sensory experience.
