Classic Martini

What it says about you:

You like the finer things in life and you’re a fan of the classics. You know Kmart’s the better option, but you shop at Target for a bit of extra pizzazz. 

Whenever you go on a first date, you always scrub up nice and pick a cocktail bar for the atmosphere (which you’re all about and it doesn’t go unnoticed). 

Your friends comment on the art pieces you buy and strangers compliment you on how good you smell. Put simply, you’re an icon, you’re a legend – you are the moment.

    • Taste
      Sour
    • Preparation Time
      5 minutes
    • Serves
      2 persons
    • What it tastes like
      Clean, crisp and will have you gingerly sippin’ for a while. It’s like wearing a tux when you don’t need to.
    • 1
      Get those glasses, some ice and whack in the fridge. Once chilled, tip the ice out.
    • 2
      Pop your spirit, vermouth and a bit of ice in a cocktail shaker and - you guessed it - shake
    • 3
      Pour into the chilled glasses and top with lemon peel
    • 4
      Now look at you all fancy, sippin’ on a martini

Dirty Martini

What it says about you: 

First off, you’re an olive stan, and you’re not afraid to show it. You like ‘em in your salad, in your pasta and… your drinks! But it’s more than that. 

You’re classy like the classic martini drinkers but also have an edge. You’ve got a mature palate and you’re the expert in your friend group on all the main events in your local area. You’re at every sample sale, opening night, esoteric concert and rave.  

Oh, and did we mention you really like olives?

 

Dirty Martini
    • Taste
      Savoury
    • Preparation Time
      1 minutes
    • Serves
      2 persons
    • What it tastes like
      Savoury, salty and bold – think dimly-lit bar, where they give you fancy nuts with your drinks.
    • 150mL of vodka or gin
    • 1 tbsp dry vermouth
    • 2-3 olives per glass
    • 1 tbsp olive brine (add more if you’re game)
    • 1
      Just like the OG, get your glasses in the fridge with some ice
    • 2
      Get your liquid ingredients together and pop them in a shaker. This is where you can get a little liberal with the olive juice.
    • 3
      Pour into your chilled glasses and top with the olives. You can even skewer them with a toothpick if you’re feeling a bit extra.

Espresso Martini

What it says about you: 

Ok, we get it – you really love brunch, and we’re not here to dull your vibe. If anything, you do you. But let’s face it… you’re probably from Melbourne and without coffee snobs like you, where would we be. 

It’s the kinda drink you order when clocking off your corporate 9-5 and need something a little sweeter than ya bog-standard savvy B. Either that or you’ve got access to the office coffee machine, the corporate card and there’s a BWS around the corner. 

Next time you’ve got drinkies in the office, here’s how to whip one up.

 

    • Taste
      Sweet
    • Preparation Time
      5 minutes
    • Serves
      2 persons
    • What it tastes like
      When you accidentally put too many sugars in your coffee… and then also vodka.
    • 1
      Chill your glasses in the fridge with some ice.
    • 2
      Get your coffee, liqueur, voddy, ice and 1 tbsp of that sweet sugar syrup in your trusty shaker, and give it a good ol’ tussle.
    • 3
      Pour into your glasses and top it off with some coffee beans.

Lemon Drop Martini

What it says about you: 

Ooh! Loves a bit of citrus. You grew up drinking Solo over Fanta (sometimes even dabbled in a bit of Pub Squash) and now need an adult-version that fits your tastes. 

You don’t like the strength of clear spirits like gin or tequila, but instead, the cocktails you go for are fresh, clean and have a balance of sweet and sour. In winter, you probably batten down the hatches, but hey, with summers like ours who could blame you?

 

Lemon Drop Martini
    • Taste
      Sour
    • Preparation Time
      5 minutes
    • Serves
      2 persons
    • What it tastes like
      You’ve just eaten your fifth lemon warhead. You either a) really like lemon b) have no fear.
    • 1
      Chill your glasses boo – you know the drill.
    • 2
      In a separate bowl, zest your lemon and mix with sugar.
    • 3
      In your shaker, add all the liquid ingredients with some ice and shake like you can’t shake no more.
    • 4
      Before filling your glasses, coat the rim in lemon sugar for a bit of garnish.
    • 5
      Pour away and enjoy!

Appletini

What it says about you: 

No seriously… you probably drank it as a meme after watching How I Met Your Mother during lockdown, but now drink it un-ironically. And you know what? It’s a vibe. 

You’re unashamed and unapologetic about who you are. You don’t take things too seriously, and if we asked your friends what you were like, they’d probably say ‘full of whimsy and mischief’. 

But we respect the choice… and the flak you probably get behind your back.

 

    • Taste
      Sweet
    • Preparation Time
      5 minutes
    • Serves
      2 persons
    • What it tastes like
      Summer arvos when your mum would bring you a juice popper and apple slices after a swim.
    • 100mL voddy
    • 100mL apple juice
    • 2 tsp lemon juice
    • 2 tsp maple syrup
    • 2 slices of apple to serve
    • 1
      Gather your ingredients like you’re foraging for an apple pie, and get them in a shaker with some ice.
    • 2
      Give it a shake (duh).
    • 3
      Pour into your glasses and top with some apple slices.
    • 4
      Give yourself a pat on the back for reaching your daily fibre intake.
