The Cocktail Lovers12 Feb 2022

Valentine's Day special

What tipples will you be serving on Valentine's Day? We say, forget the wine and Champagne, February 14th is about sharing the cocktail love.

In this bonus episode, we ask five drinks industry couples to tell us what they'll be making for each other on Valentine's Day. And for the ultimate food and drinks pairing ideas we go straight to the top, seeking expert advice from chef Adam Handling. Listen and learn about everything from how to cook the perfect steak, his favourite cocktail to pair with lobster and his ultimate cocktail and food menu to serve on Valentine's Day.

What we're mixing:

Bottled Sharing Dry Martini

450ml London Dry Gin

125ml dry vermouth

160ml mineral water

Lemon twists, olives or cocktail onions to garnish

Method:

Add all ingredients to a clean 750ml bottle and shake gently to combine. Leave in the freezer for a couple of hours or overnight. Serve in chilled cocktail glasses and garnish with either the lemon twists, olives or cocktail onions.
