Ready to try the new trend? Here are our favorite new takes on a two-ingredient classic.
- Ipswitch Named after a 1920s speakeasy, this martini send-up, from Denver’s Death & Company, is ultradry with a dose of botanical flavors, thanks to the Patagonian spirit Träkál.
1 1⁄2 oz Plymouth gin 1⁄2 oz Träkál 3⁄4 oz Cocchi Americano 1 tsp Suze 1⁄2 tsp St-Germain 1⁄2 oz water
Combine ingredients in a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir and strain into a Nick and Nora glass. Express a lemon peel over the drink. 2. Billy Sunday’s Gibson The Gibson is a martini with pickled onions instead of olives, and this variation, from Chicago’s Billy Sunday bar, uses the juniper notes of Sipsmith gin to complement the alpine character of the aperitif wine Tempus Fugit quinquina.
1 1⁄2 oz Bols Genever 1⁄2 oz Sipsmith gin 3⁄4 oz Tempus Fugit Kina L’Aéro d’Or 1⁄4 oz cocktail-onion juice
Combine ingredients in a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir to chill and pour into a coupe glass. Express a lemon peel over the drink and discard. Garnish with skewered pearl onions.
