What’s Friday in lockdown without a Quarantini?
Posted on
Well, poo. After a stellar COVID-free run, here we are again. So we’ve whipped up a little something for your Friday evening in lockdown—The Martini Whiperer’s Quarantini.
Bars are a definite no-no right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a tipple or two at home. And what better time to enjoy The Martini Whisperer’s special bespoke Quarantini—invented especially for HerCanberra during our 2020 lockdown. Everything old is new again!
(Remember bottle shops are an essential service and will be open—phew!)
The Martini Whisperer’s Quarantini

What you need
15ml Maidenii Nocturne Vin Amer
60ml Underground Spirits Chilli Citrus Vodka
1/4 teaspoon Silver or Gold Edible Dust
What to do
Add to cocktail shaker with ice and shake for 30 seconds.
Pour into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist.
A few notes
Now friends, we totally understand that you may not have access to these exact ingredients, so Phillip advises you can use these as alternate ingredients:
Regular vodka with a dash of Tabasco into the cocktail shaker
Dry Vermouth with a dash of bitters
He sourced the silver edible dust from The Essential Ingredient in Kingston which is operating an online store. So one click of the mouse and you will be able to go the full Monty next time you want to run cocktail hour in your own home. Sometimes life calls for a little silver sparkle, and we reckon now is one of those times.
