Martini
Back to Cocktails
The martini is one of the most iconic cocktails of all time. People have been drinking it for a century. With one sip it announces itself: crisp, cool, searing, and spirit-forward. It’s seeped in tradition, and there’s no cocktail that has the amount of variations. The classic is simple: just gin and dry vermouth. But there are lots of famous spins (see below).
