Martini

Thirty martini recipes, from long-standing favorites to modern inventions, come from David T. Smith and Keli Rivers. Readers looking to expand their cocktail range will find traditional drinks such as the Dirty Martini and the Vesper, alongside bolder combinations that push the form in new directions and seasonal variations.

Contemporary picks include the Appletini and the Espresso Martini. The more experimental recipes draw on less common spirits and flavors, as with the Rum Martini and the Mezcal Martini. Whether a drink is shaken or stirred, the recipes are written to suit a range of tastes and skill levels, encouraging the reader to reach for the best spirits they have.
