Cocktail: The Asparagus Martini

So a few weeks ago I found a big jar of pickled asparagus and was amazed that I had never experienced the salty,  crunchy goodness before.  I had to find a good cocktail to make with them,  so this version of a martini came about. It tastes like a Gibson without the bite of onion,  and with the earthy goodness of asparagus on the aftertaste.  Great for a classy evening. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Bombay Sapphire gin
  • Dry vermouth to taste
  • 1 pickled asparagus shoot. 

Stir and strain as you would any good martini and enjoy like you would a Gibson.
