It's really good, it's all classics reimagined by the bartenders at Employees Only in NYC. This is the actual book, in my buzzed state, I ripped the book jacket with the wrapping paper.
EO was a favorite of mine in my early 20s in the mid-2000s, unfortunately, before I truly appreciated a good cocktail.
Recently picked up their book, Speakeasy and wanted to give their house Martinez a go
2 1/2 ounces Beefeater 24 gin
3/4 ounce Dolin Blanc Vermouth
1/2 ounce Luxardo Maraschino
1/4 ounce Absinthe Bitters (recipe below)
Garnish: Lemon twist
I didn’t have Beefeater 24, so went with the traditional. Not sure I’ve ever had 24. I’d like to try, but didn’t want to go all in on a full bottle just for this. Is it worth it? Thoughts?
Absinthe bitters -
3/4 cup absinthe
1/8 cup Green Chartreuse
1/4 teaspoon Angostura bitters
1/4 teaspoon Peychaud's bitters
