Ever tried Pernod? I tried it for the first time this evening and I have to say that I like the Anise Liqueur with the eery green glow. It’s a perfect ingredient to blend with Gin and Vermouth.
So what about the Third Degree Martini? I enjoyed it! The Anise Liqueur makes this martini tastes a bit like absinth on the first note, without the warmth of the absinth of course :). As the taste fades away, the Anise and Gin aromas disappear smoothly without any aftertastes. Don’t get me wrong though, it is a strong drink that will not please to everyone.
Third Degree Martini
- 3 parts Gin
- 1 part Dry Vermouth
- 1/2 part Pernod
- Star Anise for Garnish
Pour all the ingredients in a shaker with cracked ice and shake well (big surprise 😉 ). Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with Star Anise.
Enjoy!
