Almost a century and a half of the Martini, one glass at a time.
From a sweet amber cocktail in the bars of 1880s New York to the coldest, cleanest drink in the world. The book follows the Martini through five chapters, from its ancestors to today, with presidents, novelists and film stars along the way, and the legends set straight.
Each chapter ends with the Martinis that belong to its era, and every recipe has its own page: a photograph, the ingredients in oz and cl, a step-by-step method and a personal tip from our Master Blender, Mathias Tonnesson.
Classic, cousin or neighbour? How our Master Blender sorts the Martini family.
Master your Martini in five steps. Spirit, vermouth, ratio, chill and garnish, with the ratio scale from upside down to Churchill style.
The story, in five chapters. From the 1884 Martinez to the Vesper, the Espresso Martini and the Martinis of today.
38 Martinis to make. Classics, cousins, neighbours, Nordic and seasonal, ending with our own Smile Martini.
A Martini leaves nowhere to hide.
A spirit, a whisper of vermouth, ice and a twist. With almost nothing else in the glass, the spirit is what you taste. Purity’s heart spirit, made from organic winter wheat and malted barley, is given extended copper surface contact before our Master Blender carefully blends it.
That’s why Mathias makes his Martini with Connoisseur 51 Reserve: silky and layered enough to stand alone in the glass.
