The Roku Martini is an exercise in elegance, designed to showcase the floral and citrus notes of the gin. Combine 60ml of Roku Gin with 10ml of dry vermouth in a mixing glass filled with ice.
Stir the mixture for about thirty seconds until well-chilled. The goal is to achieve the perfect dilution that opens up the aromatics of the sansho pepper and yuzu without watering down the spirit.
Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel or a single shiso leaf to add an extra layer of herbal complexity that complements the gin's unique character.
