The Yacht Club
Riva Dolce Dry Martini
Bottled-style Dry Martini, classic proportions — cold, precise and impeccably restrained.
Origin
From the Martinez of nineteenth-century California to the drier, colder glass of the grand hotel bars, the Martini shed everything it did not need. By the era of the Riva and the Riviera it had become a matter of proportion and temperature alone — the shortest possible distance between intention and pleasure.
Ingredients
- — 60 ml Riva Dolce Dry Martini
- — Dash of orange bitters
- — Lemon twist or a single olive
Glassware
Pre-chilled glass
Method
Begin with a pre-chilled glass. Draw the Riva Dolce from the freezer and stir gently over ice — just enough to wake it, never to dilute it.
Generous, glacial, exact.
