Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass
Chill a highball or Collins glass by filling with ice and setting aside while you prepare the drink (about 2 minutes). Discard the chilling ice before building the cocktail.
- 2
Add the Pentire Adrift to a mixing glass or directly into the chilled serving glass.
- 3
Add fresh lime juice and dry vermouth (if using) to the spirit.
- 4
Stir the spirit, lime, and vermouth briefly (6–8 seconds) if mixing in a mixing glass to combine and slightly chill. If building in the serving glass, give a gentle stir with a barspoon after adding tonic.
- 5
Add the large ice cubes to the serving glass (or replace the chilling ice with fresh large cubes).
- 6
Pour the chilled tonic water slowly down the side of the glass to preserve effervescence and give the drink a gentle top-up until the tonic measures approximately 4 oz.
- 7
Add the teaspoon of prepared sea salt solution: drop it in and stir gently once to incorporate. Taste and adjust—if you prefer a more pronounced mineral note, add another 1/4 tsp and stir gently.
- 8
Give the full drink a gentle single stir (4–6 rotations) to combine without flattening the tonic.
Garnish & Finish
- 9
Express the oils of the lime wheel over the drink by holding it skin-side down and giving it a quick squeeze over the surface, then rub the rim of the glass with the lime if desired.
- 10
Place the lime wheel on the rim or float it on top of the drink.
- 11
Garnish with a sprig of samphire or sea fennel/dill tucked into the drink to add a coastal aromatics. Serve immediately.
