Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

Trinity is a spirit-forward blend that harmonizes the botanical sharpness of gin with the rich, herbaceous notes of red vermouth. Served cold and stirred, it’s a thoughtful, mature cocktail for those who appreciate a robust vermouth presence in their drink.

FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I use a different type of vermouth if I don't have red vermouth for the Trinity cocktail?

Yes, you can use a different type of vermouth for the Trinity cocktail, but it will change the flavor profile. White or dry vermouth will make the drink lighter and less sweet, whereas using a sweet red vermouth, as originally required, offers a richer, more aromatic flavor. Experiment to find what suits your taste.

Preparation techniques icon

Why is the Trinity cocktail stirred and not shaken?

The Trinity cocktail is stirred instead of shaken to preserve the clarity and smoothness of the drink. Stirring gently combines the ingredients without introducing too much air, preventing the cocktail from becoming diluted or cloudy, which maintains the elegant appearance and refined texture that characterizes this cocktail.

Serving suggestions icon

What garnish works best with the Trinity cocktail?

While the Trinity cocktail doesn't traditionally come with a garnish, adding a twist can enhance its appearance and flavor. A lemon twist, for example, can add a hint of citrus aroma and a touch of elegance to the presentation, complementing the vermouth's botanical notes.
