How to make Kiki Lounge's Queenie Martini
The Queenie Martini

Crisp, oceanic, clean


The Queenie Martini, a tribute to the Isle of Man's cherished scallop, is a blend of local flavors and culture. At its core, a dry gin, fat-washed with Manx Butter and enriched with the umami of foraged seaweed.  Dry vermouth is subtly infused with the mineral essence of unrefined queenie shells. Lastly, Kiki Lounge add a few drops of roe oil, made from the queenie's meat and neutral oil, capturing the essence of the queenie's aromatics. The Queenie Martini is a nautical journey without the briny aftermath, promising a sip that's as crisp as it is local.
