Salmon Martini

Salmon Martini

Smoked salmon-infused gin and a caperberry garnish channel all the bagel and lox vibes into a balanced, brunch-perfect cocktail in this play on a dirty martini. Served at Bar Moruno in Los Angeles, a Spanish-inspired wine and cocktail bar, this signature martini is a nod toward the rest of the restaurant's menu, which is full of Spanish conservas and preserved fish. While it takes around three weeks to fully infuse the flavor of cold smoked salmon into dry gin, the result is a luscious, unique, and delicious spirit that can be used in a variety of cocktails.
