Lady Water
created by The Cocktail Mouse
1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire gin
1.5 oz Martini and Rossi dry vermouth
1.25 oz St.Germain elderflower liqueur
1 splash orange flower water
Combine all ingredients in ice-filled shaker and strain into martini glass. Garnish with orange slice or burnished orange peel.
A demure, lady-ish martini! I made it up as an experiment combining gin and dry vermouth. I like how it came out: Not TOO sweet but not staggeringly boozy; slightly floral but just the tiniest bit, smells lovely, and is crystal-clear.
The only downside is that the taste suffered when it was no longer very cold. Then some of the booziness of the gin + the bitter of the orange flower water appeared. Next time I'll shake longer and serve in a chilled glass.
