After Party

June 13, 2024

Chilled Martini Glass

Recipe:
2 oz. Elit Vodka
.75 oz. Warres White Port
.25 oz. Foro Vermouth

Garnish:  Lemon Twist

Directions:  Combine ingredients into a mixing glass already filled with ice.  Count to 40 revolutions, and then taste the drink. If it is a little too strong for desired taste, continue to stir to a 50 or 60 count. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Technique:  This cocktail utilizes the skill to stir. Stirring is used when combining and chilling ingredients and designed to not introduce air or bubbles. 

Tools needed:  Jigger, bar spoon, mixing glass, Julep or other specialty strainer, and of course always a bar towel.

Who doesn’t watch an award show and think of the “After Party”?  Of course, when thinking of the glitzy and glamorous life, the Martini is the cocktail front of mind.  The drink of Bond and Bogart, the martini is famous as “that” drink that pairs with entertainment and celebrations. This drink is made the classic way, which utilizes technique in order to gain a silky yet bold texture. Elit vodka is one of the best high-end vodkas on the market and is clean and crisp. It won’t burn like those that come from used lesser production techniques. The white port is all about adding decadence. Notes of golden raisin are sinfully sweet yet enjoyable and all of that flavor makes for a great component to layer on the dryness from the vodka. The foro dry vermouth creates a dash of balance. It holds the sweetness of the white port back just a touch, so the fullness and richness from the fortified wines elevates the vodka. The twist adds some citrus oils, which only make the libation have a touch more brightness and at the same time visually stand out on a Martini Glass.

The drink takes its name from the party we would all love to attend – the After Party.

Notes:  This is a very strong cocktail. The strength can be adjusted by working on ratios with less vodka, however, even then this is an all-alcohol ingredient drink.
