Notes
Adapted from Bar Leone (Hong Kong)'s Filthy Martini, built on vodka and smoked olive brine.
SONKLIN's clean, subtle grain sweetness plays the same savoury, smoky role a neutral vodka would, with a touch more roundness.
History
Bar Leone is a modern Italian-inspired cocktail bar in Hong Kong known for confident, playful riffs on classics - this Filthy Martini has been a recurring menu fixture.
