Fifty Pounds Gin is colourless in appearance “water white”, if you will – with spirit tails on the side of the glass. On the nose, it’s classic in character, with a predominant bouquet of juniper and coriander, balanced by its citrus and spice notes. On the palate Fifty Pounds Gin is smooth but complex, opening with juniper, but followed by the citrus constituents, and a hint of spice and earthiness. This gives way to a long, fresh finish, that’s clean, dry and with a touch of heat.
The Martini cocktail was originally made with equal parts sweet vermouth and gin. It became drier when martini introduces the dry vermouth and with the introduction of London dry gin.
Martini traditionally is stirred, but you can shake it if you use a smaller ratio, for example, 5:1.
If you prefer it less dry, you can increase the vermouth and lower the gin ratio creating another popular serve known as a Reversed Martini.
