“I really like a wet Martini, and I really prefe

“I really like a wet Martini, and I really prefer a citrus twist,” says @LoursinSeattle’s @ZacOverman of his reasoning behind this 50:50 Martini recipe that swaps a Corsican aperitif wine for the traditional vermouth. “It’s got a little bit of bitterness from the quinquina, so this lands between a Martini and a White Negroni.” Get the recipe via the link in our bio, and watch him make it in our latest reel.

The Moitié-Moitié, which means “half and half” in French, is a 50:50 riff from @loursinseattle. Inspired by @zacoverman’s love of a wet Martini with a citrus twist, he plays up those bright citrus notes by swapping out the dry vermouth for a Corsican aperitif wine. For the recipe, head to the #linkinbio.
