This martini, from the new cocktail list at Sartoria in London, reflects the timeless style of the restaurant’s Savile Row home. Rosolio is an old, rose-based aperitivo that’s enjoying a bit of a revival – it’s not easy to find, but whiskyexchange.com has Italicus’ gorgeous, bergamot-flavoured version. Serves one.
50ml Italicus rosolio
25ml sherry (I use Tio Pepe)
5ml Luxardo Bitter Bianco
3 dashes orange bitters
Stir everything in a mixing glass with an ice cube, and serve straight up in a chilled martini glass. I garnish mine with a pickled radish, but that’s up to you. Salute!
