Instructions

The Zen Garden Martini is a serene blend of florals, citrus, and Eastern-inspired fermentation that brings a sustainable approach to a classic cocktail. Each sip promises to transport you to a tranquil state of mind, amidst the beauty of a blossoming garden. Ingredients: - 2 oz Tanqueray No. Ten Gin - 0.75 oz Homemade Yuzu-Kombucha Syrup - 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 0.25 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 1 Dash of Orange Blossom Water - Edible Flowers for Garnish (such as violets or orchids) Homemade Yuzu-Kombucha Syrup: - Brew a small batch of kombucha using green tea as the base. - Once the kombucha has fermented for about 7 days, flavor it with fresh yuzu juice and zest during the secondary fermentation process for an additional 3-5 days. - After secondary fermentation, strain out any solids and gently heat the yuzu-kombucha with an equal part of organic sugar or honey to dissolve, creating a syrup. - Cool and store in a glass bottle, refrigerated. Glass: - Chilled Martini Glass Instructions: 1. Chill the martini glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink. 2. In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the Tanqueray No. Ten Gin, homemade yuzu-kombucha syrup, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and a dash of orange blossom water. 3. Stir the ingredients gently until well chilled; aim to dilute the drink only slightly while keeping the integrity of the gin's botanicals. 4. Discard the ice from the martini glass (if it was chilling with water). 5. Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass using a fine mesh strainer. 6. Garnish with an edible flower floating delicately on the surface. The Zen Garden Martini not only celebrates the vibrant flavors of citrus and florals but also upholds sustainable practices by employing homemade fermented ingredients. It offers a charming balance of complexity and elegance, perfect for a sophisticated gathering or a moment of solitary reflection.
