There’s something intriguing about cocktails that balance the familiar with the unexpected, and a spiced jamun martini does exactly that. Crafted with a crisp base of London dry gin, this cocktail draws its personality from the deep, tangy-sweet notes of  MONIN’s spiced jamun syrup — a fruit that is as nostalgic as it is seasonal in India. The jamun lends a striking hue and a refreshing tartness, while subtle spice undertones weave warmth into each sip, giving the drink a layered complexity.

This martini is not just about indulgence but an exploration of how local ingredients can elevate classic cocktail and give them a refreshing taste. The dry gin keeps the drink clean and sophisticated, while the jamun syrup adds a playful edge, transforming a traditional martini into something more modern.

Perfect for festive gatherings or as a standout at dinner parties, this is a cocktail that will leave your guests surprised with its bold flavor and visual appeal. Whether you’re a seasoned mixologist or simply experimenting at home, the spiced jamun martini promises to linger on the palate long after the last sip.

Note:
  • Double the ingredients when cooking for more people to ensure everyone gets a fluffy stack.
  • Swap out eggs for mashed bananas, yogurt, or flaxseed mix if you're vegetarian or allergic to eggs.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra soft and airy pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to get fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning while ensuring even cooking.
