wasabi martini
cocktail recipe

We created this recipe for an Asian-inspired dinner party and served the delicious savoury cocktail during aperitif with sushi. Inspired by the classic martini, this drink has the perfect umami balance and will impress your guests by it’s complexity and unique taste.

You will need a sous vide machine to complete the process. If you are not familiar with a sous vide machine it doesn’t only helps creating great flavours for cocktails, it will also allow you to try new techniques to achieve perfectly cooked meat. It’s a great investment!
