Dill Anise Aquavit & Tonic

Highball


Preptime: 1 minutes

The sweet and herbaceous flavor of dill seeds and fronds perfectly complements the fruity notes of the tonic, creating a refreshing and unique flavor profile. You can make it in the same ratio as a classic gin and tonic, making it a great alternative for those who prefer a drink with a milder and less tangy taste, without the sharp juniper flavor of gin. We often serve our Dill Anise with tonic water, as it is a great cocktail to convince people of the potentail of aquavit in cocktails. Gin and Tonic is a the staple highball cocktail of our time, and as most people have a vivid sense of the taste of a classic gin & tonic, it makes for a great foundation for comparison.

Martini
Classic, Short & Boozy
The Martini is, along with the Manhattan, probably the epitome of late 1800s classic cocktail-making. Wild myths of origins, simple preparation that highlights the bartender's craft, wonderful flavor and a healthy kick. Maybe it has its origin in a Martinez, maybe it has roots in a marketing campaign by vermouth company Martini. But it is certain it starts out being made with Italian (sweet) vermouth, and gin. In the early 1900s, it changes to French (dry) vermouth, which gets known as a dry martini. Then comes Churchill, Bond, and suddenly the 80's. The recipe stands for itself, but let us stress here that Espresso Martinis, Pornstar Martinis, and Breakfast Martinis are not martinis at all.

Espresso Martini
Modern Classic, Dessert
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, as the bard said. In the 1980s anything served in a stemmed triangular glass was a martini, and no one had the stomach for actual martinis. Hence comes Pornstar-, Breakfast and French martinis, and of course, the star of the show, the Espresso Martini. Technically a dessert cocktail more related to a shaken Black Russian, it has become a staple at any bar worth its salt for the last 30 years.
