NOTES
1. Ice cubes: Use ice cubes so that the cocktail cools quickly, and you can remove them easily so that the Martini does not dilute.
2. Basil: A sweet herb. Delicious in combination with the gin and vermouth. Crush the basil before shaking it to release the flavors even better.
3. Blue Cheese: Tangy and strong, a creamy soft blue cheese. Gorgonzola, Roquefort, or Danish Blue are all super tasty!
4. Storage
- Refrigerator: In the morning, you can stuff the tomatoes and store them in an airtight container in the fridge until use.
- This cocktail is best when you drink it cold and freshly made. So don't store this!
