Black Martini

The Black Martini balances rye's spice against the bittersweet depth of Averna, creating a drink that reads like a brooding Manhattan with botanical undertones. Old Tom gin adds a subtle malty sweetness that rounds the edges, while maraschino contributes a whisper of cherry and almond in the finish. It's a spirit-forward sipper that rewards patience, revealing layers of dried fruit, warm spice, and a lingering herbal bitterness.
