FAQ's
What is the significance of not stirring or shaking the Dry Martini Embury's?
Not stirring or shaking the Dry Martini Embury's is significant as it is believed by some to maintain the clarity and integrity of the drink. Stirring or shaking can introduce air bubbles, potentially clouding the cocktail and altering its texture. This method of preparation aims to keep the drink as smooth and clear as possible, enhancing its elegant presentation.
How does the alcohol content of Dry Martini Embury's compare to other classic martinis?
The Dry Martini Embury's has an alcohol content of 36.57%, which places it on the higher end of the alcohol content spectrum for classic martinis. Most classic martinis have an alcohol content ranging between 30% to 40%, depending on the ratio of gin (or vodka) to vermouth used. This makes the Dry Martini Embury's a relatively strong choice among its peers.
Can I substitute the dry gin with another type of gin in the Dry Martini Embury's?
Yes, you can substitute the dry gin with another type of gin in the Dry Martini Embury's, although this will alter the flavor profile of the original cocktail. London Dry Gin is commonly used for its crisp, juniper-forward taste that complements the dry vermouth. Using a different type of gin, such as Old Tom Gin or a botanical gin, will introduce new flavors, potentially making the cocktail sweeter or more floral.
What type of orange bitters is recommended for Dry Martini Embury's, and can it be omitted?
For Dry Martini Embury's, traditional orange bitters are recommended to add a subtle citrus note that complements the gin and vermouth. Angostura orange bitters or any high-quality craft orange bitters would be ideal. While the bitters play a crucial role in adding depth to the cocktail's flavor, if you're not a fan of bitters or don't have them on hand, you can omit them. However, this will slightly change the cocktail's intended taste profile.
What is the best way to serve and garnish a Dry Martini Embury's?
The best way to serve a Dry Martini Embury's is in a chilled cocktail glass to keep it cold and enhance its smoothness. Traditionally, a Dry Martini Embury's does not come with a garnish to maintain its minimalist presentation. However, if desired, a lemon twist can be added as a garnish for a subtle aromatic enhancement without overpowering the cocktail's delicate flavors. It's important to gently rub the rim of the glass with the lemon twist to release its essential oils.
