Skiing Waiter

This unusual drink is essentially a reverse Martini that swaps dry vermouth for Riesling, and is then poured over a frozen dome (or cube) of citrus-Campari granita. I named it for a well-turned-out waiter who I envision skiing up to perform a tableside service of the drink for your Alpine après-ski.

INGREDIENTS

2 oz. dry Riesling
1 oz. London dry gin
¼ cup (approx.) dome or cube of Campari-citrus granita

ABV LEVEL

Do ahead: Make sure you've followed the directions for the granita domes / cubes. A couple of hours before serving, pop granita out of molds and place in a coupe. (If using dome, place it convex side up.) Freeze for 1-2 hours before making the drink.

To make the drink: Combine gin and Riesling in a mixing glass. Fill three-quarters up with ice. Stir for 20 seconds. Remove prepared coupe/granita from freezer. Strain gin-Riesling mixture over granita and serve immediately. This drink will change in flavor and texture as the granita melts, so sip this one slowly.
