Meyer Lemon and Tarragon Martini
This drink is simple, elegant and inventive. Its base is New Amsterdam Straight Gin, which is not as heavy on the juniper as a traditional gin would be and mixes better with the Meyer Lemon and tarragon without overpowering them. Three quarters of an ounce of St. Germaine adds a nice floral note as well.
