Pineapple and Cardamom Martini

This is yet another ‘Martini’ that is in no way a Martini. The drink was invented in 2002 by the late Henry Besant at The Lonsdale in London’s Notting Hill.

Besant was a popular figure on the London cocktail scene, and was a protegé of the famous Dick Bradsell. Besant sadly died of an aneurysm in 2013 aged just 40 years.

The Lonsdale can be found at 48 Lonsdale Road, Notting Hill, London W11 2DE.
