OCD Signature Vodka Martini Recipe
Indulge in the sophisticated elegance of the OCD Signature Martini, a uniquely crafted cocktail that blends the crisp purity of OCD Pure Vodka with the botanical richness of Mary St Gin. This cocktail is a celebration of fine spirits, perfect for any occasion that calls for a touch of class.
Ingredients:
- 45 ml OCD Pure Vodka
- 15 ml Mary St Gin (optional; for a stronger gin presence, or substitute with an additional 15 ml of OCD Vodka for a purer vodka flavor)
- 15 ml Lillet (or substitute with Antica Vermouth if preferred)
- 3 drops citrus bitters
Method: Shake and Strain for Perfection
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine OCD Pure Vodka, Mary St Gin (if using), Lillet, and citrus bitters.
- Chill with Ice: Add enough ice to cover the ingredients. The amount of ice can adjust depending on your preference for dilution.
- Shake It Up: Shake the mixture vigorously until the exterior of the shaker turns frosty, indicating the perfect chill.
- Double Strain: Carefully double strain the cocktail into a martini glass to ensure a smooth, clean pour without any ice shards or residue.
Garnishing Your Masterpiece: Enhance your martini with a simple yet elegant garnish of three blueberries on a toothpick, placed directly in the glass. This adds a burst of color and a hint of fruity sweetness that complements the cocktail's flavors beautifully.
Variations to Explore:
- Color Variations: Swap the traditional Lillet for Lillet Blanc to transform your martini into a lighter, more translucent variant. Lillet Blanc offers a subtle yellow tint and a slightly different flavor profile, giving your cocktail a refreshing twist.
- Vermouth Alternative: If Lillet is unavailable, Antica Vermouth serves as an excellent alternative, adding depth and complexity to your martini.
