Notes
SONKLIN is a softer base than gin here. The briny, savory structure carries the drink more than the spirit does.
History
Adapted from Fanny Chu's Dirty Martini Highball, originally published on Punch. SONKLIN's clean, lightly sweet rice-spirit profile stands in for gin, landing closer to a vodka Dirty Martini in character while keeping the olive brine and manzanilla sherry salinity of the original.
