Sloe Gin Fizz

All that glitters is not gold, and sometimes the best things in life aren’t staring you in the face. The Martinez cocktail recipe might not have a pile of biscuits layered on top, or smoke pouring over the side, but it’s the ultimate drink – impressive in its own way. Mix up a Martinez cocktail because it has both history and flavour on its side.
Half-fill a glass with cubes of ice.
Using a jigger, measure 50ml Gordon’s London Dry Gin, 10ml red vermouth, 5ml maraschino liqueur and a dash of angostura aromatic bitters into the glass.
Place a barspoon at the bottom of the glass and gently turn to combine all ingredients.
Pour the liquid through a cocktail strainer or small sieve into a coupe glass that’s been chilled in the fridge.
Using a small knife or vegetable peeler, cut a think piece of peel from one turn of an orange. Place on top of the drink to garnish.
It’s easier to keep track of your drinks if you know how many full glasses you’re drinking.
