Martini explains the origins and history of “the supreme American gift to world culture” (Bernard DeVeto) and is packed with legends and anecdotes about the rich and famous, as well as their taste in this most popular cocktail. Divided into four sections — Beginnings, Martini Mixology, Martinis in the Movies, and In the Lounge — it includes 30 recipes and revives the debate over shaken versus stirred martinis. Traditional favourites like the Dry Martini, the Vodka Martini, and the Gibson mingle with contemporary variations like fruit martinis, the Espresso-tini, and the Chocotini in this beautifully photographed book.
