Bertagnolli
Gin 1870 Premium Dry
No botanical list to lean on, so read it as its name does: Bertagnolli 1870 is a dry style, juniper first, pine-sharp and resinous, with citrus peel behind it and a clean peppery finish. Little sweetness, no heavy spice. Dry and straight-backed rather than floral.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 — enough quinine bite to meet a dry gin without padding it
Garnish — Lemon peel
Martini
gin · dry vermouth · lemon
Stirred cold with dry vermouth, strained, lemon twist.
Why this gin — A dry gin like the 1870 has nowhere to hide at 5:1, and its juniper-forward, low-sugar build is exactly what a Martini needs to stay cold and sharp.
