Method

Directions

Prepare the Glass

Chill a martini glass by placing it in the freezer for about 10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of soju and 0.5 oz of dry vermouth. Add a pinch of salt for an extra flavor kick.

Add Ice

Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

Prepare the Garnish

While shaking, prepare the garnish by slicing 3 cucumber slices and setting aside a whole Korean chili pepper.

Strain and Serve

Remove the chilled martini glass from the freezer or discard the ice water. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.

Garnish the Drink

Drop the sliced cucumber into the drink and float the whole Korean chili pepper on top. Drizzle 1 tsp of sesame oil over the drink.

Add Lime Twist

Finally, garnish your cocktail with a twist of lime, expressing the oils over the drink before placing it in the glass.

Enjoy

Serve immediately and enjoy your Seoul Classic Martini!
