New Beefeater Summer Edition

I happen to be lucky enough to live around the corner from a great local bar which the owner has been on a big gin kick lately. Around 2 weeks ago he told me to change up the gin in my martinis to the Beefeater Summer (I normally take Saphhire) I drink mine a tad differently. But if you get the chance to try it, leap and sample my new summer martini:

3 parts Beefeater Summer
1 part Ketel One
lemon.

Muddle lemon slice in shaker, add ice, BS, vodka, SHAKE VIGOROUSLY.

Pour into a chilled glass, garnish with a thin slice of lemon peel rubbed on the rim. It just tastes like summer. :001_cool:

I always think of this comedy routine ...

... but with "roughriders" replaced with 'beefeater" ... it's better with the whole routine, though.
 
It's smoother, goes well with the citrus. Not a traditional "Martini" yes I'm aware. I think it has a hint of lemon too so mixed with the muddled lemon it's not sweet, not too sour. Just tastes fresh.
 
From a write up I saw on this gin.

It's a lighter style gin with a more muted flavor. The juniper is still here but it's softened by elderflower, black currant and hibiscus. These additions help make it play more nicely with fruit juices so you can use it instead of vodka It's also distilled to a lighter 40 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) compared to Beefeater's standard 47 percent ABV.​
 
Reminds me of a summer drink a friend introduced me to a long time ago. Just make a standard martini (gin and dry vermouth). Pour in a glass with ice. Add some water (about 2 or 3 to 1 ratio water to martini) and drop in a lemon slice. Very refreshing.

I don't know if this drink has a name, but I call it a Kazu, after the guy who showed it to me.
