The Dirty Martini mixologists have created a refreshing new range of Pisco & Tonics serves, to rival the gin classic. Buy them over the bar or why not make your own using the recipes here?
For Dirty Martini’s summer menu, they are swapping stereotypical gin for the iconic Chilean El Gobernador Pisco. This new blend adds a South American twist on a British classic, bringing in grape and apple notes that complement the range of Fever Tree Tonic waters perfectly. Each Pisco & Tonic partners two contrasting elements.
The Pineapple & Ginger Pisco & Tonic is The King’s Ginger Liqueur, Ciroc Pineapple Vodka, Pisco and Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic mixed into a refreshing blend, while sliced fresh ginger and a dehydrated pineapple crown complete this creation.
Peach & Grapefruit demonstrates, is a perfect mix of sweet and sour. The fruity creation is brought to life by the contrast of Peach Schnapps, fever Tree Sicilian Lemon Tonic with Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, enriched by two slices of fresh peach paired with an eye catching dehydrated grapefruit wheel, striking the perfect balance both on a taste and a visual level.
The Rhubarb & Spice blend demonstrates Dirty Martini’s skill in marrying a serve with the perfect garnish as this Pisco & Tonic is topped with a rhubarb ribbon and an infused Angostura bark Tonic which already heightens the senses before you taste. Briottet Rhubarb Liqueur and Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters are mixed with pink peppercorns, Fever Tree Aromatic Tonic and star anise which adds sweet hints of anise and liquorice.
Finishing the perfect summer range are the White Grape & Kaffir Pisco & Tonic which matches Briottet Bergamot Liqueur, Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic and Silent Pool Kaffir Lime Solution and the Dragon Fruit & Prickly Pear which features Briottet Prickly Pear Liqueur, Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters, Fever Tree Aromatic Tonic and a topping of dehydrated dragon fruit and fresh mint.
Tom Cole, Product Innovation and Development Manager at Dirty Martini
“Gin has always been the centre of attention, however this summer the lesser known counterpart to the infamous serve, the Tonic, is set to flourish and we are excited to be at the forefront of this trend. Venturing away from the usual London Dry Gin, we are focusing our attention on Pisco, a beautiful South American spirit which pairs wonderfully with Tonic, providing aromatic floral notes, as well as subtle tones of citrus, with a creamy texture and long finish. At Dirty Martini we are passionate about innovating new and upcoming trends and are proud to introduce you to our boundary pushing new range – Pisco & Tonics, which sees us combine Pisco with bold botanical flavours, the freshest of garnishes and Fever Tree’s flavoured Tonic waters.â€Â
The menu will launch across all seven of Dirty Martini’s London bars from the 1st June until 31st August, as well as it’s Cardiff bar priced at £7.50.
