The story behind
The Martini is more than just a drink; it is a statement of style. Since the mid-19th century, it has evolved into the ultimate symbol of refined mixology. The secret to a great Martini lies in its simplicity and precise temperature; it must be served bone-chilled to highlight the gin's botanicals. It is the perfect choice for those who appreciate direct, clean flavors. I suggest serving it in a classic glass, garnished with green olives for that signature savory touch seen in the image. It is, quite simply, an unreachable classic.
