Instructions

The Citrus Zenith is a sophisticated and zesty cocktail that combines the nuanced flavors of gin with the bitter sweetness of orange and the botanical kick of dry martini vermouth. This refreshing yet complex drink is perfect for sipping on a warm evening. Ingredients: - 2 oz London Dry Gin - 1 oz Bitter Orange Liqueur - 0.75 oz Martini Dry Vermouth - 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 6-8 Thai Basil Leaves - 1/4 tsp Crushed Peanuts - 1 Star Anise Pod (for garnish) - 1 Pinch of Salt - Club Soda to top off - Ice Cubes Glass: - Highball glass Instructions: 1. In a shaking tin, muddle the Thai basil leaves gently with the lime juice to release their flavour. 2. Add the London Dry Gin, Bitter Orange Liqueur, Martini Dry Vermouth, and a pinch of salt to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with ice, being careful to keep the muddled basil out of the glass. 5. Top off with club soda. 6. Garnish with crushed peanuts and a star anise pod. 7. Give the drink a gentle stir just before serving to lift the basil and peanut flavors. The Citrus Zenith excels in balancing the herbal notes from the vermouth and gin with the vibrant punch of lime and the unique accent of bitter orange, bridging the gap between a traditional gin cocktail and a modern, innovative concoction. The delicate garnish of peanuts and star anise adds a hint of nuttiness and an alluring aroma.
