Explosive Dry Martini / Raspberry Elderberry Cocktail
Explosive Dry Martini
​
Ingredients
5g Algin
1 l water (use still mineral water with a calcium content of less than 50 mg/l)
500 g green olives, seedless
1.2g GlucoSalt
0.8g Xanthan or 8g Xanthan Instant
100 ml gin
320g dry gin
400 grams of dry vermouth
1 straining bag
Preparation
For the Algin bath, stir the Algin into 500 g of water with a hand blender. When the mixture is smooth and even, add the rest of the water and stir. At least leave to rest for 8 hours.
Crush the olives until a paste is formed. Strain the paste through a fine strainer bag, catching the olive water. Measure out 250 g of olive water and stir in the GlucoSalt with the hand blender. Add Instant Xanthan and continue beating until smooth and slightly thick, about 1 minute. Using the 2.5ml measuring spoon, add the olive juice to the Algin bath in portions, creating spheres. Leave to steep for a minute, then remove from the bath with a slotted spoon, rinse in still water (with a calcium content of less than 50 mg/l) and place in 100 ml of gin. Mix the cocktail in a shaker with plenty of ice, gin and vermouth. Serve in martini glasses with an olive sphere in each.
