APERITIVO
A sweeter take on the classic martini, balanced with salinity that hints at the Cornish coastline. Brined and pitted Hojiblanca green olives are great but for a more delicate and buttery flavour try Nocerella olives. We like to shake this drink, an unusual move that makes for a beautifully unusual drink.
