Martini recipes are everywhere and come in a variety of flavors. However it is important to remember that there is a martini and then there is a martini. Often the latter bears little or no resemblance to the original except for the serving glass.
The classic gin martini will always be a favorite of many drinkers. It was the love affair with the drink (and its equally timeless cousins like the Manhattan) that spawned a movement: a distinct martini culture within the wider cocktail scene. The martini has evolved into a style of drink: fancy short drinks served in cocktail glasses that are often strong. Modern martini menus are filled with almost every flavor imaginable from apples to chocolate coffee to spice and they’re a lot of fun to explore.
