Instructions

The Dark Martinez is an enigmatic twist on the classic Martinez cocktail, often considered the precursor to the modern martini. This version retains the complexity and herbal notes of the original while introducing a darker, more robust character courtesy of a rich, aged dark rum. The addition of a coffee-infused vermouth brings a subtle bitterness that balances the sweetness, creating a cocktail that is both sophisticated and seductive, perfect for a contemplative evening or a refined nightcap. Ingredients: - 2 oz Aged Dark Rum - 1 oz Coffee-infused Sweet Vermouth - 1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur - 2 dashes Orange Bitters - 1 dash Angostura Bitters - Orange twist, for garnish Instructions: 1. To infuse the sweet vermouth with coffee, combine 1 cup of sweet vermouth with 2 tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee beans. Let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes, then strain through a coffee filter to remove the coffee grounds. Store the infused vermouth in a sealed container in the refrigerator. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the aged dark rum, coffee-infused sweet vermouth, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, orange bitters, and Angostura bitters. 3. Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds or until well chilled. 4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled Nick & Nora glass, which provides an elegant presentation and enhances the aromatics of the drink. 5. Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface of the cocktail to add a citrusy aroma, then drop the twist into the drink as a garnish. 6. Serve immediately and enjoy the complex interplay of coffee, dark rum, and herbal notes in your sophisticated Dark Martinez.
