The Harris Martini Serve
THE ISLE OF HARRIS GIN DRY MARTINI
A TASTE OF HEBRIDEAN HEDONISM
A very dry Isle of Harris Gin Martini made with a crisp, scented vermouth from Dalmeny Estate near Edinburgh.
Hand-produced in small batches, using 24 locally sourced and foraged herbs and flowers, the sustainable heritage of this estate dates back nearly a thousand years.
Presented in a beautiful Harris Martini Glass, this is a serious and strong serve, so please enjoy its pleasures slowly and in moderation.

Julep strain the mixture into the Isle of Harris Martini Glass.

For me, the Martini cocktail is a symbol of purity and elegance. The Harris Gin Martini speaks for itself through the botanicals and when served properly, is a cocktail you savour. "
