Here's a cocktail that blends botanical freshness, herbaceous and spicy flavors in an intriguing mix. Secret Du Jardin uses Blue Pearl Distillery's Jardin Verde gin. This artisanal gin is the centerpiece of the blend. It stands out for its unique aromatic profile, where classic juniper notes are beautifully complemented by garden flavors. Hints of cucumber, mint and even rosemary can be detected, giving it a unique flavor.
The addition of Noilly Prat, a well-known dry vermouth, adds depth and slight bitterness. Its spicy, floral and dried-fruit aromas blend harmoniously with the gin's vegetal character. Olive brandy from the Cap-Chat distillery is the unexpected ingredient that gives the cocktail its originality. Distillerie Cap-Chat's olive brandy is a true revelation. It is, however, a brandy only available at the distillery. It brings a unique flavor to martinis, among other things. Its presence surprises and intrigues, adding a layer of complexity to the blend. It creates a fascinating contrast with citrus and herbs, adding an umami dimension.
The cocktail's secondary elements are freshly squeezed lemon juice, which balances the homemade red pepper and coriander syrups. Fresh basil leaves add a complementary herbaceous note. A light 1642 tonic is added.
Decorate with a slice of red pepper, a skewer of cherry tomato, a head of basil and a cube of blue cheese or other firm cheese. Here's a summer cocktail to surprise your curiosity.
