Golden Lady

Earlecia Richelle | New York, NY

A play on the Vesper sans gin, the Golden Lady is Grey Goose Ambassador Earlecia Richelle’s go-to Martini variation. Lillet adds a soft bitter note while Benedictine layers in an herbaceous round quality. Expressed orange peel brings it all together with a poppy bright note. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice.
