Dirty Pepper Martini

1870 Sazerac
“Ritz At The Portman” draws inspiration from César Ritz, an influential hotelier and the founder of the famous Parisian hotel, whose name is synonymous with elegance and luxury. The drink is equal parts Remy Martin VSOP, Maraschino, and Triple Sec, a touch of fresh lemon juice, topped with sparkling wine, and garnished with an orange twist.
