This drink is an icebreaker, says Byrdi owner and bartender Luke Whearty.
“[It is] inspired by two of my favourite Martinis from a trip I had to London,” he says. “The first being the One Sip Martini from Tayer & Elementary and the second being the undiluted martini served from the freezer at Dukes Bar by Alessandro Palazzi.
“The idea was to have a fun ice breaker type serve to lighten the mood but also showcase some of the unique producers we are lucky to use at Byrdi.
“Basically a combination of the traditional vodka caviar ritual with a Martini using the flavour pairing of caviar, white chocolate and macadamia.”
