MARTINI
TRIED & TRUE
The drink that's launched a thousand arguments about the "right" way to make it, and we're about to anger the purists by shaking it.
The Holy Trinity:
- 2.5oz Telluride Gin (the main character)
- 0.5oz Dry Vermouth (more than a whisper, less than a conversation)
- Dash of Bitters (because we're rebels)
The Controversy:
Combine everything in a cocktail shaker and—wait for it—SHAKE IT. Yes, we said shake. We can hear the cocktail snobs screaming about "bruising the gin" from here, and we're feeding off their fury. Strain it into whatever V-shaped glass makes you feel like you could be a spy or a Madison Avenue executive with questionable morals. Garnish with an olive, a lemon twist, or honestly, your hopes and dreams—at this point, we've already committed martini blasphemy, so why stop now? This is the martini for people who like their drinks cold, their gin prominent, and their cocktail rules more like suggestions.
