How To Make a 5-star Martini - My Favorite!

Martini - probably the most famous cocktail out there, but making it is not as easy as it would seem. The base spirit, vermouth choice, the garnish, the specs and the bitters make for many possible Martini combinations, so in today’s edition of “Old vs New” I’m making 3 versions, so that you can try them out and find out what Martini is the right one for you. Starting with an 1888 version from The New and Improved Bartender’s Manual, then a 1904 version from The Applegreen’s Bar Book and a 2022 version featuring a special Cocktail Time blend of bitters. So get a few mixing glasses ready and chilled and find out what my favorite Martini recipe is. Cheers!
