01 / THE PREP

THE
PREP.

TZATZIKI VODKA

Ribbon cucumber, then add fresh dill and lemon peel. Pour Absolut Vodka over the top.

Add Greek yogurt and mix everything together. At this stage it does look really weird, but trust the process. This is where the cucumber, dill and tangy yogurt flavour comes from.

After an hour or two, run it through a sieve to get rid of the solids, then pour the leftover liquid through kitchen roll until you have a clear tzatziki vodka.

03 / THE METHOD

  1. 01

    Add the tzatziki vodka and dry vermouth to a mixing glass with loads of ice.

  2. 02

    Stir until properly cold, then strain into a chilled martini glass.

  3. 03

    Keep the garnish simple: an olive and a little olive oil on top for that fresh Mediterranean feel.

Fresh, cold, cucumbery and a little bit creamy in the best way.
YOGURT WARNINGIt looks weird while it clarifies. It tastes brilliant once it is stirred down.
