Discard ice from chilling glass and strain in drink. Measure the gin, vodka and Iris Liqueur into a mixing glass. You’ll feel recharged and ready to roll after this little staycation in a bottle.
Tropical Crush takes you away from the everyday and provides a bit of respite. The Iris Liqueur replaces the traditional Lillet Blanc with a wonderful complexity and plays perfectly with the gin from Sea Bishop Spirits in Black Diamond, Washington, one of the newest distilleries to our scene.įill a cocktail coupe with ice and set aside to chill. Description Like a day on the beach, pineapple, lime and cherry flavors join forces and create a relaxing and fruity juice perfect for the chillest of vibes. This cocktail is inspired by the classic Vesper. A noticeable perfume sits neatly on the palate and is balanced by sweetness and a slight bitter botanical note. Despite what you might think, the iris root is what gives this liqueur its floral aromatics, not the flower. Using snowmelt waters that filter through 1,000-meter thick basaltic volcanic rock off the Oregon High Cascades, the spirit is also based on organic grain neutral spirits. Named for the beautiful flower that is the official emblem of Florence, Italian brothers Andrea and Mario Loreto of Elixir Craft Spirits in Eugene, Oregon, founded the recipe for their Iris Liqueur on traditional Italian sweet spirits, with pure Northwest ingredients. In the end, martinis are a personal thing: dry, wet, vodka, gin, olive or twist, it’s up to you. I know that “pure spirit cocktails” are technically supposed to be stirred but I like my martinis shaken - icy cold, strained into a well-chilled glass and garnished with a blue cheese-stuffed olive skewer. As my drink of choice, I definitely have my preferences. Martinis bring to mind bygone days of “three martini lunches,” a 1950s-sort-of elegance and those quote-worthy scenes from classic James Bond movies. Ernest Hemingway, Alfred Hitchcock and Julia Child all famously loved their martinis, carving out a nostalgic place in history for this iconic cocktail.
