Of course, no connersewer would use vegemite in a martini.Vegemite in a martini
Vegemite is a divisive yeast spread, and so when Sydney's Kensington Street Social introduced the Vegemiteini – a martini with vegemite and a vegemite shard – it understandably met mixed reactions.
But if you pare it back to basics, vegemite has the same salty, umami qualities of a brined olive, which, according to Segnit, "brings the gin's aromatics alive".
The weird-but-good combinations with Vegemite truly are endless – it's your birthright as an Australian to whack it on anything.
More "interesting" combinations.
It would have to be Marmite.
