LIFESTYLE Now You Can Make The “Expat Harem
Martini”!
Sip the crisp and spicy concoction of
vodka, green apple juice, lime, cucumber,
and
ginger beer created by international
sommelier and bartender Joe McCanta (featured in July 2007's
Harper's Bazaar
and
FHM, and August's
Marie Claire).
The Expat Harem Martini
With a wooden spoon or muddler, muddle the cucumber, ginger syrup, lime, and
fresh ginger together. Add the green apple juice and vodka and shake all
ingredients for about 20 seconds. Without straining, empty the entire contents
into a highball glass. Garnish with a fresh apple slice or a piece of cucumber.
*Ginger Syrup- Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water with 75 grams of coarsley
chopped, unpeeled ginger. Heat all ingredients over medium heat and stir until
the sugar is dissolved. Strain into a glass container and refrigerate. Will last
2 weeks.
After launching the cocktail at a crowded event in Istanbul’s bohemian district,
the Expat Harem Martini has now spread to some of Istanbul’s most sumptuous
addresses (watch this space for more news or register
for automatic updates). With Saf branches also opening in Geneva,
Stockholm, London and Munich, the Expat Harem’s intoxicating effect will
continue to spread! |
