Strong Classic

The Addison is a minimalist gin-vermouth cocktail in the martini tradition, combining equal parts gin and vermouth for a well-balanced, spirit-forward drink at 22.23% ABV. Its simplicity allows the botanical character of the gin and the herbal complexity of the vermouth to express themselves fully. Served in a martini glass, it is a clean, classic-style cocktail with a dry, aromatic finish.

History & Origins

The Addison is a variation on the classic 50/50 Martini formula, a style that pre-dates the ultra-dry martini and reflects drinking preferences from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its origin is disputed, though equal-parts gin and vermouth cocktails were standard in pre-Prohibition American and British bar manuals. The name suggests a person's name cocktail, a common naming convention of the classic cocktail era.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Pronounced juniper and botanicals from the gin, layered with the herbaceous and slightly sweet notes of the vermouth. Palate: Balanced and medium-bodied; the gin's character is moderated by the vermouth's wine-like depth, creating a drink that is neither overly dry nor sweet. Finish: Clean, medium-length, with a pleasantly bitter botanical fade.

Pro Tip

Stir rather than shake to maintain the drink's clarity and silky texture, and serve in a well-chilled martini glass.
