The Felene Vodka Tangerine Chili Martini offers a vibrant blend of citrus and spice, perfect for adventurous palates. Begin by pouring 3 ounces of Felene American Handcrafted Vodka into a shaker with ice. Add a dash of dry vermouth for a crisp undertone. Enhance the flavor with a dash of Calabrian olives infused with tangerines and chilis, creating a bold, spicy, and citrusy kick. Shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with skewered Calabrese olives and a fresh tangerine slice to finish this sophisticated, flavorful martini.
Calabrian olives are a distinct variety from the Calabria region of Southern Italy, known for their bold flavor. These small, firm olives have a rich, slightly briny taste with a touch of spiciness. Often marinated with Calabrian chili peppers, they bring a balanced heat that enhances their naturally robust flavor. Their deep green or reddish hue and meaty texture make them a favorite in Mediterranean dishes. Calabrian olives are often used to add complexity to cocktails and recipes, offering both a savory and mildly spicy experience with a hint of earthy undertones.
