Hoste The Martini

ABV/Proof: 33% | 66 proof

Tasting Notes: A pleasant pop of citrus zest gives way to refined florality and a dazzling botanical display

About the product: Created in collaboration with Julia Momosé, The Martini offers a modern twist on a classic favorite. Momosé is the visionary behind the critically acclaimed Chicago cocktail bar, Kumiko, and the James Beard award-winning cocktail book, The Way of The Cocktail. Inspired by the changing of the seasons in Japan during Momosé's childhood, the custom gin botanicals include Sakura for spring, Sansho for summer, Hojicha for autumn, and Yuzu for winter. The Martini lifts off with a pleasant pop of citrus, then gives way to an elegant botanical display with refined florality, a round mouth-feel, and a clean finish. Each bottle is accompanied by a yuzu zest atomizer composed of Yuzu peel extract and is best enjoyed poured cold over ice.
