Metropolitan Martini

[mmwc]

Just back from Oceania Vista TA and discovered a new martini.  The Metropolitan.  It is wonderful.  I was wondering if anyone had the specific recipe for it?

 

thank you in advance

Thank you.  Tried that but the recipes contain cranberry juice and Oceania does not!

What bar did you get it in?

Martinis.  I know the ingredients just not the amounts,  Maybe I’ll just experiment!

I am pretty sure experimenting on the amounts is the best way to go!!!!

I agree

You piqued my interest since I'm always looking for new, fun martinis.

I found this:

 

The metropolitan is a classic brandy cocktail that's nearly as old as the Manhattan or Martinez. It's equally simple and a brilliant way to showcase a great bottle of brandy.

This recipe dates to around 1900 and mixes brandy, sweet vermouth, sugar, and bitters. It's also sometimes known as the brandy Manhattan, though that recipe typically skips the metropolitan's syrup.

Interesting recipe.  The ingredients for Oceania’s Metropolitan are Vodka, Cointreau, Chambord and lemon juice.

Loved this drink also! Ordered it in GDR our first night and loved it! But be careful where you order it. When we ate at Toscana our friend ordered it and it tasted nothing like mine. I think the waiter made it himself as he asked what was in it.

 

Next cruise I want to try an Espresso Martini. We had one in Winchester, England and it was wonderful!
