มาร์ตินีใบมะกรูด
Origin
Kaffir lime martini is a contemporary alcoholic cocktail born from the fusion of the classic European martini with local Thai ingredients, particularly kaffir lime leaves. First introduced in upscale boutiques and concept bars in Bangkok since 2018, it was created by Thai mixologists aiming to craft a distinctive signature drink using the aromatic, citrusy essence of kaffir lime leaves instead of lemon or vitamin C.
Characteristics and Flavor
The cocktail displays a pale yellow to clear gold hue. It boasts a sharp, pungent citrus aroma from kaffir lime leaves, blended with a subtle bitterness from alcohol. The flavor is rich, balanced between sweet and sour, not overpowering, delivering a refreshing yet sophisticated drinking experience.
Ingredients
Vodka, kaffir lime-infused vodka, lime juice, sugar, fresh kaffir lime leaves (for garnish)
Serving Method
Pour the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass, gently stir to combine, then strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a kaffir lime leaf and serve cold alongside light appetizers such as smoked salmon or steamed shrimp with rice noodles.
