Some Recent Danish Smørrebrød Recipes as Martini Accompaniments

Danish open sandwiches, or smørrebrød, pair well with martinis, and I enjoy experimenting with various recipes – particularly dependent on whatever is available in the shop, fridge or garden at the time. These Nordic dishes are great for dinner parties and can be prepared in advance. They keep well for an hour or two and are perfect for post-activity meals, such as after a sauna. Skål!

50 Fathoms Gin from Alaska

This is a lovely gin that makes a good martini and a particularly nice gin and tonic. Before I even tasted it I read that it had won double gold at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco, the arguable birthplace of the Martini. A good sign! I’m also in love with the branding. Port Chilkoot Distillery is located in Southeast Alaska and makes a … Continue reading 50 Fathoms Gin from Alaska

Crunchy Salmon Skin in the Air Fryer

This is one of the most popular recipes on my site. I’ve got two versions, the original air fryer one, plus my new go-to version which I do in the pan. Both turn out with good results, and obviously both go very well with a nice, cold martini! A lot of people don’t eat fish skin – and I get it. It’s a completely different … Continue reading Crunchy Salmon Skin in the Air Fryer

Mini Onigiri to serve with Martinis

Onigiri are like a Japanese equivalent of a sandwich, consisting of rice, mixed with certain ingredients and then shaped, often into triangles. They can last up to three days (although this can depend on the ingredients and amount of salt and they are usually best eaten within 24 hours). They are often used in packed lunches or eaten at picnics. They are satisfying, tasty and … Continue reading Mini Onigiri to serve with Martinis

The Henri Toulouse Lautrec in Kennington

  The Henri Toulouse Lautrec is no ordinary venue. People travel here from all over the world for its live music performances. It also serves fantastic food. However – the martinis do not hit the mark just yet, but with a little re-adjustment this place could be a cocktail bar with real punch – a Moulin Rouge of south London.    I would struggle to … Continue reading The Henri Toulouse Lautrec in Kennington

Even More Martini Snacks

Here is some more food to go with your martini. I like to use things that are simple to make (or that you can make in advance), easy to eat (preferably with one hand) and either carbohydrate or protein based, especially on the savoury side of things. There are loads of potential categories from you to choose from.  Let’s start with some simple pretzels. They are … Continue reading Even More Martini Snacks

Salmon tartare canapés

Olives are the nibble most closely associated with martinis but I always think that seafood is one of the best matches. It’s fresh, cold and goes well with citrus, just like a good martini. Consuming seafood also brings its own element of danger (food poisoning? Mercury?), much like the danger associated with drinking a strong martini. So here is a simple and easy recipe for … Continue reading Salmon tartare canapés

Mini blini

 Here is a highly tasty and versatile nibble from Russia; a country with a huge amount of expertise when it comes to drinking and tradition.    While I would normally encourage making things at home, I saw some miniature blini for sale in the supermarket and decided just to buy them for a martini accompaniment. Otherwise, I have seen several good recipes online. I found this … Continue reading Mini blini
