“This is my rendition of a coconut red curry Martinez,” explains bartender Javelle Taft. The botanicals reflected in the gin, specifically angelica root, jasmine, chamomile and coriander, “brought me back to vivid memories from my time spent in Hyderabad, India.” Meanwhile, Lustau sherry vermouth and coconut liqueur layer rich, savory nuttiness, evoking “the creaminess of curry.”
