MSG Martini

INGREDIENTS

Serving: 1

• 2 1/2 ounce gin, preferably Botanist, or vodka, preferably Grey Goose
• 1 ounce Bonnie’s MSG-olive brine (see Editor’s Note)
• 1/2 ounce Shaoxing wine

Garnish: 3 castelvetrano olives

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir until chilled.
2. Strain into a Martini or coupe glass.
3. Garnish with 3 castelvetrano olives.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Bonnie’s uses a proprietary MSG-laced brine, but as a substitute they suggest using olive brine plus 1 dash of MSG solution.

MSG Solution
Dissolve MSG in water at a ratio of 1:50, by weight, and pour into a dasher bottle.
