The BELA Caesar Martini: A Cocktail Made for Sardine Lovers
This is not your average Caesar Martini recipe—it starts with a tin of BELA sardines in cold-pressed Portuguese olive oil. The oil brings richness, the brine adds bite, and the result is a martini with serious character. Start by chilling your glass. Then in a cocktail shaker, combine 1.5 oz vodka, ½ oz dry vermouth, a spoonful of BELA’s sardine oil, and a splash of brine. Add a dash of Worcestershire, a squeeze of lemon, and if you’re brave, a hit of hot sauce. Shake hard over ice, strain into your chilled glass, and garnish with a BELA sardine or a lemon twist. Crack black pepper over the top. This Caesar Martini isn’t just a drink—it’s a bold ritual for people who like their cocktails complex, coastal, and unforgettable.
