Master of Cocktails – Cask-Aged Martinez

Master of Cocktails Cask Aged Martinez

Right then – time for this week’s #MasterofCocktails, where we will be making a Cask-Aged Martinez. Now this week’s drink is going to take probably 2 minutes to prepare, as we’ve done all the prep. already. Clever us. If you’ve not done your homework yet or need a bit of a refresher on what you’ll been needing in your cask (available here), have a look at the Prep. Blog Post I made early last week for the recipe.

Once you’re up to speed, we can begin. Go on. I can wait… Ready? Lovely.

All week, the cask’s been sitting up there on the shelf, quietly maturing…

…and now’s its chance to shine. So… Start by taking a stirring glass packed with ice:

Now loosen the bung (fnaar), and pour a nice measure into the measuring glass:

Stir…

Strain…

A twist of orange peel…

…And serve.

Enjoy!

It’s that easy. That was about 2 minutes, with tweeting as well. Trust me – this will be an absolute boon over Christmas.

The cask development thus far is quite light, but will increase with time of course. As you go along, you can re-top the cask with gins and vermouths per your preference… In a moment of madness, you could even add some Fernet? Just don’t tell anyone.

Tune in on Sunday for another exciting instalment of #MasterofCocktails, where we will be using these treats…

Next week, you’ll be needing these…
Hudson Manhattan Rye, Noble Tonic 01: Tuthilltown Bourbon Barrel Matured Maple Syrup, Bitter Bastards Cinnamon Bitters, Smoked Streaky Bacon and an Orange.
