Orange Honey Basil Olive Oil Martini

Orange Honey Basil Olive Oil Martini

This recipe is the perfect example of how good quality first ingredients can take something simple to an extraordinary, flavorful creation. We are using a few simple basic ingredients that complement each other perfectly. The orange adds a citrusy base along with the cointeau, the basil leaves give that herbal freshness that balances the sweetness of the syrup while the olive oil adds a rich depth and complex body to the drink. We can’t think of a better way to say goodbye to the usual, outdated cocktails and introduce new and existing drinks to our guests!

 

Ingredients

  • 2 orange segments 
  • 5 fresh basil leaves plus extra for garnishing 
  • 6 oz premium vodka 
  •  1 oz dry vermouth 
  • 1 oz Cointreau
  •  ½ oz honey 
  • ¼ oz extra virgin olive oil 

 

Instructions

Muddle the orange segment with basil leaves in a mixing cup. Add the vodka, Cointreau, vermouth, honey, olive oil, and ice, and shake well. Use a mason jar if you don’t have a shaker. Strain into a martini glass and add a drop of olive oil on the top as you garnish with a few extra basil leaves.
