Tonight was redemption for the awful attempt of this martini last week.
Balsamic Martini:
- 3 oz of Gin (I used Tanqueray)
- 1/4 - 1/2 oz 3 Dry Vermouth (I used Gallo for very mild flavor)
- 2-3 drops fine Balsamic Vinegar (I used Bellindora Balsamic Fig)
- Twist of Lemon
- 2-3 Castelvetrano Olives
The balsamic vinegar gives a subtle, kind of savory and still sweet undertone to the gin and vermouth. It pairs well with the olives. I put some Castelvetrano olives in this time. They are not a perfect martini olive in most cases--small, a bit soft and the flavor is very mild and more sweet than other olives. But they match perfectly with this drink.
