Oorsprong
Hiervoor laten we Ben Reed, de bedenker van deze cocktail en een van de aanjagers van de Cocktail Renaissance, zelf aan het woord:
“I created this drink for the first contemporary cocktail competition to happen in London for over 30 years. It was 1997, the comp was for Absolut vodka and this drink was the winner. I was running a celebrity members bar called the Met bar which was attached to a boutique hotel called the Metropolitan on London’s Park Lane.
One of the trends of the time was to put things inside bottles of vodka and let them macerate: chilli garlic candy etc. I wanted to create something fresher so decided to use fresh fruit. An industry first at the time. We had a martini list in our bar and this drink became one of many fresh fruit martinis we served. Other popular fresh fruit martinis include: watermelon, kiwi, lychee, strawberry, melon, raspberry.
