Arctic Velvet Martini

Description: Inspired by the pristine purity of Icelandic glaciers and the smooth character of premium small batch vodkas, the Arctic Velvet Martini is a luminous cocktail that highlights the subtle differences in top-shelf vodkas. An aromatic mist of rosemary and a hint of elderflower elevate this martini, providing a soft herbal bouquet and a silky finish that’s as crisp as a Nordic breeze. Ingredients: - 0.5 oz Reyka Small Batch Vodka - 0.5 oz Grey Goose Vodka - 0.5 oz Chopin Potato Vodka - 0.5 oz Tito’s Handmade Vodka - 0.25 oz St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur - 2 dashes orange bitters - 1 rosemary sprig (for aromatic mist) - Lemon twist (for garnish) Directions: 1. Chill a coupe glass thoroughly. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine all vodkas, St-Germain, and orange bitters. 3. Stir gently for 25 seconds to chill and dilute. 4. Strain into the chilled coupe glass. 5. Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink and garnish with the twist. 6. Hold a fresh rosemary sprig above the glass and gently ignite with a kitchen lighter for a few seconds, allowing the rosemary smoke to scent the cocktail. Type of glass: Coupe glass (Note: This cocktail subtly showcases the unique characters of each vodka while being delicately accented with florals and herbal aromatics.)
