An equal-parts Martini riff made for drinkers looking for more funky flavor.
Clairin, an up-and-coming cane spirit, steps into the place of gin or vodka in this equal-parts Martini riff from Chicago bartender Kevin Beary. Beary uses a Haitian clairin, but if you can’t find that, a rhum agricole, cachaça, or Mexican spirit like charanda would work well.
Ingredients
- 1 oz. clairin (Beary uses Clairin Casamir)
- 1 oz. blanc vermouth
- 1 dash saline solution
- Tools:barspoon, strainer
- Glass:mini coupe
Preparation
Stir all of the ingredients with ice to chill, then strain into a chilled glass.
