Other Gin Drink Recipes
Start with sipping Martin Miller's gin on the rocks. While many gins emphasize their juniper roots, Martin Miller's has created something much more complex, with layers of other fruits. There is a lovely citrus nose: candied citrus peel that carries through on the palate, along with the floral notes of the juniper berries. The gin is very smooth, medium-to full-bodied palate with intensely fruit, citrus peel and somewhat more mild juniper. Interestingly, there are fine, spicy peppercorn notes-we don't want to get geeky about it, but having just tasted 20 different varietal peppercorns, they remind us of Sarawak. The finish has long citrus and violet notes.

Martin Miller's Martini
Martin Miller's personal style includes substituting elderflower liqueur for vermouth in his martini-just for a quick whisk and a hint of flavor. The flavors go perfectly with the gin's botanicals. We're crazy about St. Germain elderflower liqueur, so we encourage you to buy a bottle and enjoy it straight and mixed with Champagne, too.
Ingredients
*
2 shots gin
*
1/2 shot elderflower liqueur
(for a standard martini, substitute
vermouth)
Directions
Martini

* Stir the elderflower liqueur over ice, then discard. (In our home, we'd drink it, not toss it down the drain! A bartender would have to "discard.")
* Add gin to ice and stir 20 times until ice cold. Strain
into martini glass.
* Garnish with lemon twist.
