Cocktail Recipes
Black Cow Martini
Created by Chef Mark Hix, this is the ultimate dirty martini; strong, salty and sweet. Beautifully presented in a mini martini glass, pour your own from a little jug that nestles in a glass of ice.
Ingredients:
- 50ml (1 3/4 oz) Black Cow
- Dry vermouth
- 5ml (1/6 oz) olive brine
- 1 large olive to garnish
Method:
Pour the Black Cow, splash of dry vermouth and olive brine into a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice and stir. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into a chilled glass and add the olive.
If a Martini doesn’t get your taste buds going, a number of different cocktail recipes available on Black Cow’s website, from basic to advanced, there’s a mixture of classic and unique recipes to suit all!
