Ingredients

500ml white port (we used Quinta da Pedra Alta)
250ml dry gin
150ml vermouth

(we used Cinzano Bianco)
1 preserved lemon
2 tbsp olive oil

plus a few drops to serve

Method

step 1

Pour all the liquor into a large bowl with 200ml of filtered water. Stir well, then decant into a clean empty wine bottle. Chill overnight. For best results, put the bottle and some small sherry glasses in the freezer for 20 minutes before serving.
step 2

Meanwhile, cut the preserved lemon into quarters. Remove all the pith and as much white as you can, then slice the quarters into matchsticks. Put in a bowl and spoon over the oil. Leave for at least a few hours and up to a few days.
step 3

To serve, pour the martini into the chilled sherry glasses, adding a slice of preserved lemon and a few drops of olive oil to each.
