Cocktails

DRY MARTINI

Contested if the origins stems from the gold seekers in Martinique or the bartender Martini di Arma diTaggia on knickerbocker hotel in New York. What is not contested is that it first showed up in Armica around 1900, and is today the most iconic gin drink

Here Alexander Wessberg, who is the head bartender of Negroni bar at Hypoteket in Lund, shares his recipe for their signature Dry Martini.

6 cl Helsing London Dry Gin

0,25 cl Vermouth

Stir gin with a lot of ice. Stir for a long time, do you think you are finished? Stir for a bit more.

Pour a dabble of martini in a cold Martini glass, don’t take pour to much, it should only coat the glass, through the rest out. Pour the gin through a sieve and use a lemon zest on the brim of the glass. Garnish with 2 green Olives. 

GIN FIZZ

A drink that first appeared in writing 1887, and consequently given rise to a pletoria of cocktails with the fizz suffix. This is a drink that traditionally is served in a highball glass.

A more iconic duo is hard to find. A brilliant idea from the officers of the East India Company, to spike their daily ration of quinin with gin. With malaria at kept at its bay, as a bonus they had invented the Gin & Tonic.

With only two ingrediens it is easy to regulate after personal taste, but here at the distillery we use the following proportions.
