While
not technically a martini, we thought it was okay to let
this double-citrus sour keep its fun name.
Ingredients:
60ml Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin
20ml Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Four Pillars Orange Marmalade
Orange peel
Procedures:
Chill martini glass well. Mix gin and marmalade in a shaker,
until the marmalade has dissolved. Top with lemon juice
and lots of ice, shake well, and strain. Top with orange
twist.

We
think that 7pm is the perfect time for a martini, made
wet, the traditional way. The drier you want your martini,
the less vermouth you should use.
Ingredients:
75ml Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin
15 ml Dry Vermouth
Orange or Lemon Peel
Procedures:
Chill a martini glass well. Combine ingredients and plenty
of ice in a mixing glass. Stir gently (only James Bond
shakes his Martini), strain and garnish with a twist of
citrus.
