This is the Plateau Martini, a twist on the classic French Martini that uses gin instead of vodka and tonic instead of pineapple, ingredients that are very Quebecois. A fresh and powerful cocktail, slightly bitter, where citrus and candied fruit notes dominate the palate, with a delicate floral finish.
Ingredients
- 2 oz of Fou Gin
- ½ oz. red vermouth
- 4-5 fresh blackberries, crushed
- ½ oz. grapefruit juice
- ¼ oz. lime juice
- A dash of egg white
- A few drops of floral bitter (optional)
- 1½ oz of 1642 elderflower tonic.
- Ice cubes
Preparation:
- Mash the blackberries in a shaker with the vermouth
- Add all the ingredients except the 1642 elderflower tonic
- Shake without ice cubes(dry shake) to emulsify the egg white
- Add ice cubes and shake again
- Add the 1642 elderflower tonic directly into the shaker and mix gently with a spoon
- Double filter the whole in a cup
- Garnish with a few blackberries.
Cheers!
