The Martini Great Drink and Magnificent Cocktails
The Martini is a great drink that has different variations depending on the personal preferences of each diner, in Hoya Lush you will find magnificent classic cocktails that have stood the test of time and also popular trends, prepared by a highly trained staff and with the best and most exclusive ingredients.
Types of Martini
Most cocktail professionals agree that gin was originally used in the first Martini recipe. However, following the vodka craze in the United States, the cocktail began using vodka instead of gin to suit the American palate. Simply put, gin will give the drink a more complex and botanically influenced flavor profile, while vodka will provide a sweeter and simpler flavor profile, these martinis are one of Hoya Lush’s specialties.
White Martini
An Italian white vermouth has notes of vanilla and spice. It is usually drunk with ice or lemon, but also with soda, lemonade or tonic water. For slow drinkers to better appreciate your cocktail, it is advisable to drink a glass of water with a slice of lemon or a cucumber. This will quench your thirst and better prepare your palate for the drink.
Extra Dry Martini
This is a true Italian icon that represents the best of quality, the Extra Dry Martini has a delicate complexity with hints of raspberry and lemon on a lily background. It is ideal served on the rocks with a slice of lemon.
Rossato Martini
The tonic water enhances the intense notes of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and citrus peel bitterness that make the Martini Rosato unique, creating a light and aromatic cocktail. By pouring the same amount of vermouth as tonic, the carbonated bubbles will enhance the spicy flavors to bloom in the glass for maximum enjoyment.
Rosso Martini
Martini Rosso has become one of the most famous and cosmopolitan drinks in the world. It has a characteristic mahogany red color with hints of sienna. It has a powerful aroma of sagebrush and a bittersweet fragrance of exotic woods. In the mouth you will feel complex herbal and gingerbread aromas with a slight hint of bitterness. It’s a perfectly balanced blend for aromatic and subtly spicy length.
Best Martini Drinks
Ironically, a wet Martini actually means adding more dry vermouth. A dry Martini will require the normal amount of dry vermouth, while a wet Martini will require more than one part dry vermouth. With that in mind, here are the best Martini drinks.
Fresh Martini
This is made with 2 ounces of vodka, 1/2 ounce of Chambord liqueur and 1 1/2 ounces of pineapple juice. Raspberries and pineapple are an excellent combination of flavors, however, the raspberry liqueur and fresh pineapple juice turns this overly sweet cocktail into a nice, balanced kiss of exotic fruit.
Manhattan
The classic Manhattan cocktail has survived countless fads and is now known as one of the best cocktails ever. I think we can all agree that it deserves its place among the world’s most famous cocktails. Made with whiskey and bittersweet vermouth, the Manhattan is the perfect after-dinner drink.
Negroni
An Italian classic and a staple on many menus, the Negroni is the ideal pre-dinner aperitif. Although many Italians would say it’s appropriate to drink it any time of day. Made with equal amounts of gin, Vermouth and Campari, the Negroni is an iconic cocktail that will always be in style. Served over ice and garnished with a slice of orange, it’s easy to see why it’s one of the most popular cocktails not only in Italy, but around the world, especially at Hoya Lush.
Negroni Sbagliato
It is a variant of the classic Negroni, since instead of gin, sparkling wine is used, and the cocktail is lighter in alcohol than the classic Negroni. The Negroni sbagliato was born in Milan in the 1950s at the famous Bar Basso, which patented this cocktail and has since become as famous as the classic Negroni. It is prepared directly in the glass, put the ice cubes, then the Martini, then the Campari Bitter and finally the sparkling wine. Stir before serving.
Royal Martini
It has made a real niche in our bar at aperitif time, Aruba joins the spirit of the Royal Martini. The freshness and simplicity of preparation is a characteristic of this drink, it is served in a billiard glass filled with ice cubes, add 7 cl of Martini Bianco, 7 cl of Spumante Prosecco and to finish add the juice of a lemon.
Martini Royal Rossato
This is a ready-to-drink aperitif. The recipe is inspired by the cocktail of the same name, which is prepared by mixing Prosecco, the famous Italian sparkling wine, and Martini Rosé. The result is a fresh and lively drink, ideal to be served simply with ice and a slice of orange. On the nose it has delicate notes of cinnamon, while on the palate it is fruity, with a predominance of raspberry notes.
Dry Martini
It is one of the most iconic cocktails in the bar world, but it is certainly the most controversial in terms of its composition. Originally, it is composed of equal parts gin and vermouth.
Dry Tequila Martini
This is a drier cocktail than is customary for a tequila drink, but it’s a fascinating concoction that allows the tequila to shine. Choose a premium blanco tequila for a dry tequini or, if you prefer, turn it into a sweet tequini with a premium reposado tequila and sweet vermouth. Preparation requires extra dry Martini, tequila, orange peel, salt and ice.
Americano
The Americano is a cocktail prepared with Campari bitter, red vermouth and soda. It is prepared directly in the old fashioned glass. The ingredients are all Italian, but the drink is named after the Italian boxer Primo Carnera, who was very active in the United States and earned the nickname “L’Americano”. It has a slightly bitter taste with a hint of citrus and is perfect for quick meals.
Pink Martini Mojito
The Pink Mojito is a feminine version of the traditional Mojito, with rose and raspberry. If you like the classic mojito, this is a must try. Keep the rum, syrup and sparkling water in a cool place to prevent the crushed ice from melting too quickly. If it’s not raspberry season, you can use frozen raspberries. To enhance the minty and tangy flavor of your Pink Mojito, fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime can be placed on the surface of the glass as desired.
