Gin Martini with Agar Pearls

I made the vermouth component of the gin martini cocktail into agar pearls. The pearls look beautiful and allow you to taste the two components separately. It’s a totally different experience finishing the drink with the pearls—like a bubble tea martini 😆. The cold-oil spherification process is also really easy to do.
Ingredients:
-
Gin
-
Agar Agar Powder
Instructions:
For the agar pearls:
Chill 1.5 cups of olive oil in a tall container in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Add 3/4 tsp Agar Agar powder and 1.5 cups of dry vermouth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Allow mixture to cool slightly and add to a large syringe or squeeze bottle. Slowly drop the solution into the cold olive oil. Strain the pearls from the oil and rinse throughly.
Add agar pearls to fill 1/3 of a chilled martini glass. Add gin to a mixing glass and stir until well chilled. Strain gin into the martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
