Appearing in countless movies—for example, any one of the Bond films—it’s one of the most popular and well-known cocktails of all time. Making a martini is simplicity personified, the classic recipe requiring just two ingredients (not counting the garnish): gin and vermouth. And now man-about-town Matt Hranek is here to tell us everything we need to know about the iconic cocktail. Like Hranek’s \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Negroni\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Martini\u003c\/em\u003e will give readers insight into the drink’s nineteenth-century-origins, as well as the tools for making 35 simple variations of the drink—a combination of recipes from the author, recipes from experts\/bartenders around the world, and iconic versions that any martini fanatic needs to have on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluded are the author’s own version, always with gin (never vodka), served ice cold and dry with a twist of lemon (or, on \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003every\u003c\/em\u003e rare occasions, like when he is hungry, an olive); the Martinez (circa 1849), named for the city of Martinez about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco, where some say this all began; a lime martini, a nod to Hranek’s father, who loved a gin and tonic; and New York City legend Russ \u0026amp; Daughters Cafe’s own martinis, “The Lower East Side” and “The Smoked Martini.” There will be details on ingredients, methods (to shake or to stir?), garnish, equipment, glassware; where to get the best martini around the world, and more. Beautiful original and archival photography make this an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a martini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e160 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtisan Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions: 5.75” x 0.63” x 8.25”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40126854430838,"sku":"BOOK202","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/4293\/files\/BOOK202-A.jpg?v=1724337815","url":"https:\/\/stag-provisions.mom\/products\/the-martini-perfection-in-a-glass","provider":"STAG Provisions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
