Story
Perhaps you've heard of Maybe Sammy, the world-beating, prize-winning, glamour-filled cocktail bar in The Rocks in Sydney? If not, allow us to introduce you to but one of their libations. Yes, whilst the clever chaps behind this wonderful bar are most at home shaking or stirring up something magical for the few guests who grace their seats each night, they also recognise that there are hundreds more who cannot make it....but are still keen on a good drink. Enter their bottled cocktails - the exact same drinks, handmade and batched locally in Sydney, Australia using the highest quality ingredients - in your home.
The bar itself takes inspiration from the roaring Fifties, the rebirth of cool, the era where fashion and fun prevailed. A time when The Rat Pack and Hollywood glamour were revered and admired. The bartenders are in crisp white jackets, the guests are dressed to the nines and the drinks? Well, if we told you that the bar has been named as Australia's best by numerous publications and critics, that should give you some idea. Fancy living like Sammy? Be the high roller that you are. You've earned it!
You've had a martini, but have you had a chamomile martini made by Maybe Sammy? This take on a classic gin martini includes Bombay Sapphire gin, Noilly Prat dry vermouth, chamomile, pepper and cedarwood. The combo gives this cocktail a unique sort of piney woody aromatic flourish, elevating it into 'now that's an interesting drink' territory in the process. Tangy and refreshing, it's a really interesting drink that we thoroughly admire.

PAIRING GUIDE
Sure, grab your martini glass, but don't expect your standard martini here! You can probably skip the olive and choose an orange garnish too, and then serve this with a smorgasbord of oily and smoky things! Stronger-flavoured fish dishes, including anchovy, mackerel, tuna, and sardines, are a good place to start, as is any dish that includes smoked meat or vegetables in the mix, with this fragrant martini more than up for a little chilli and spice too!
