Let’s mix it up and celebrate NRO Encore in style! Here’s a “classical” martini recipe we think you will love for the big night.
Recipe
2 fl oz Dry Gin
1/2 oz St. Germaine Elderflower Liqueur
1/2 oz Chardonnay
1/4 oz Nolly Prat Extra Dry
Chill a Martini glass for 10 minutes. Think of your favorite classical music piece. Smile. Shake all ingredients with ice, fine strain, garnish with a lime zest twist, and enjoy!

Summer is not what we imagined. It’s what we reimagined.
