“We wanted to create a simple-yet-delicious take on the 50/50 martini. Blanc vermouth and absinthe is a favorite combination when making a martini; the duo gives the drink more body and texture while creating subtle complexities. The pale cream sherry adds a slight salinity and richness to create a full mouthfeel. We like to serve this cocktail super cold (or scale it up to make a Freezer Bar batch) with caviar on the side to highlight the sherry and vodka notes.” —SR & EF
