Bombay Sapphire Gin Martini up with a twist of orange
Dec 6th, 2007 by Nick
This drink was made out of ingenuity. When it was made I was out of lemons at the time. I got the bright idea to use a Clementine that was sitting on the counter. Turns out that the orange peel makes a great garnish. The drink had the gin taste with the hint of sweet orange. This variation so far has to be my favorite, mainly because the drink had all the right flavors, or it could be because the best bartender in the world and the love of my life made it. I <3 Shellie.
Gin is made by first making a grain spirit through the same processes of making vodka. Then the spirit is flavored with juniper berries. Then the mixtured is distilled again. Gin is, in other terms, a juniper berry flavored vodka.
- 9 parts Gin.
- 1 part dry vermouth.
- Twist of orange for garnish.
To garnish with a twist of orange. Take a small piece of orange peel, Twist it and wipe the peal on the rim of the glass. Then drop the peel into the drink.
