THE MARTINI

Product Description Sophisticated, timeless, and effortlessly elegant, the martini remains one of the world’s most iconic cocktails. Immortalized in films—most famously the Bond series—it’s a drink defined by simplicity: gin and vermouth, plus a classic garnish. In The Martini, Matt Hranek takes readers deep into the history and culture of this enduring favorite. Building on the approach of his celebrated book The Negroni, Hranek explores the martini’s 19th-century origins and presents 35 essential variations. These include his own signature recipe—always gin, ice-cold, and dry with a lemon twist—as well as historic versions, bartender favorites from around the globe, and iconic interpretations every enthusiast should know. From the early Martinez (circa 1849) to his father-inspired lime martini to the famed concoctions at New York’s Russ & Daughters Café, the collection celebrates the drink’s evolution. Quantity: 1 N
