I was inspired to write this post up by my newly-scheduled martini festivities in Florida next month. The photographer who shot my cocktail book, Colleen Duffley, has opened a remarkable art gallery/salon/event space on the gulf coast of Florida called Studio b. I’ve been invited to sign books and create a special “pink martini” for a symphony gala for the wonderful Portland band, Pink Martini. Two nights later I’m teaching a Martini Madness workshop at Studio b itself.
My passion may be conscious eating and parties, but that certainly includes great wines and elegant cocktails. Especially if they’re made with fresh herbs, vegetables or fruits from the garden and local and/or organic spirits like the Rosemary Classic pictured here. (Although I have to admit that the smooth warmth of this cocktail is nearly as calming with any premium vodka.)
Rosemary Martini
Makes 1 cocktail
- 2 jiggers Dry Fly artisanal vodka, or Tru organic vodka
- Dash of dry vermouth
- 2 Sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme
- 2 Kalamata or Nicoise olives and lemon twist
- Add the vodka to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake to chill.
- Pour the vodka into a chilled martini glass and add a dash of vermouth.
- Rub 1 sprig of the rosemary (or thyme) around the rim of the glass. Use the second to skewer the two olives and slide that gently into the cocktail along with the lemon twist.
