THIS MONTH’S EXPLORER CLUB COCKTAIL

Master the craft of the perfect Rum Martini with Forged Spirits.

If you’ve received our latest cocktail kit, you’re holding the components of something truly special. We’ve moved away from the traditional gin base to create an invention of our own: a Rum Martini that balances the bold, copper-distilled character of Forged Spirits Dark Spiced Rum with the delicate sweetness of lychee and honey.

In this video, we walk you through the precise technique to ensure your serve is as refined as the spirit itself.

Inside Your Forged Kit:

• 🥃 Forged Spirits Rum: Hand-crafted and distilled for a smooth, complex base.

• 🌸 Lychee Juice: For a floral, tropical lift.

• 🍯 Honey: To add a rich, silken mouthfeel.

• 🍸 Dry Vermouth: The essential botanical bridge.

The Method:

1. Prep: Chill your glassware—a cold glass is non-negotiable for a Martini.
2. Dilute: Stir your honey with a splash of warm water to create a syrup so it blends perfectly.
3. The Mix: In a shaker, combine 50ml Forged Rum, 75ml Lychee Juice, a bar spoon of honey syrup, and Vermouth to taste – 25ml or less.
4. The Shake: Add ice and shake vigorously. We want it ice-cold and aerated.
5. The Pour: Strain into your chilled glass for a crystal-clear finish.
