The Martini PageI like to have a martini, two at the very most,after three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host." Dorothy Parker

House Style Cheating, and not shaken or stirred

7:1, French Vermouth, Sicilian olivesDilution calculated using chilled mineral water, carefully measured, spirit

from the freezer, vermouth from the fridge.Mixed briefly and served in a frozen glass. Drink quickly.

Our method is not for purists or for those who stand on tradition but iscontrolled, consistent, and colder than is possible using any other technique(excluding the use of liquid nitrogen).

NamesakesChurchill -A glance in the direction of France is enough vermouthMontgomery - Vermouth outgunned by gin 15:1Gibson - 2 plump cocktail onions to represent Gibsons GirlsRoosevelt - The original wet and dirty martini

Dukes Just Gin straight from the freezer, 2 drops of vermouth, lemon twist

VariationsVespa - Smirnoff Vodka, Tanqueray Gin, Lillet Blanc, twist, shaken 18Smokey - Dry martini with Islay Malt whisky rinse 19Flame-of-Love - Dry sherry replaces vermouth with flamed orange zests 18

Our RecommendationsPrices are given for the spirit used for your preference of martini

GinBeefeater 17Tanqueray 19Plymouth 18Tanqueray No.Ten 24

VodkaWyborowa 17Ketel One 18Luksusowa 18Grey Goose 23

BittersUntil the 1950s a dash of bitters (particularly orange) were a commoningredient to martinis. Fashions change but we still think it tastes great.Some suggestions; Angostura bitters, orange bitters, grapefruit bitters,rhubarb bitters, Absinthe, Fernet Branca, Peychauds bitters, Campari.

Finishing TouchesYour choice of in-house marinated silverskin onions, Sicilian olives,

cucumber, zest of grapefruit, lemon or lime.
