Cocktail of the week: Sova’s amber martini – recipe | The good mixer

A vodkatini-alike with a mellow shot of autumnal amber wine – serve cool with a spritz of lemon

Georgian wine brings gentle tannins and floral notes to a traditional martini base, giving the cocktail greater depth and complexity.

50ml vodka – I use Beluga Noble 20ml dry white vermouth – I use Dolin 30ml Georgian amber wine – I use Tblvino’s Qvevris Kisi 1 wide strip lemon zest , to finish

Put a nick & nora glass in the freezer to chill. Once it’s cold, measure all the liquids into a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into the cold glass, then express the lemon zest over the top, drop into the glass (or perch it on the rim) and serve.
