Q

What is a Martini?

A

A classic Martini contains gin and a half ounce of dry vermouth. Today, however, the word martini has been warped to mean something a little different to everyone.

Some want gin, most typically want vodka. Some want vermouth, most typically do not. “Cold-shaken straight vodka” is a common desire among our guests who ask for a “Martini”.

Martinis cost more than a normal shot of liquor, because they contain 3oz of the desired spirit instead of the typical 2oz in a normal cocktail.

Dirty Martini = mixed with Olive Brine instead of vermouth.

33
Q

What are the most commonly requested garnishes for a Martini?

A

Lemon Twist

Olives

Bleu Cheese-stuffed Olives

34
Q

If someone asks for a Martini with an Olive, does that mean they want a Dirty Martini?

A

Not necessarily. Olives are common garnish on both standard and Dirty Martinis. Verify with the guest exactly what they would like.

35
Q

What is the “Spritz” component of the Puttin’ on the Spritz?

A

Cava and Topo Chico

36
Q

What is in the Dorothy’s Old Fashioned?

A

Bourbon, Angostura Bitters, and a house-made Oleo-Saccharum

(OH-lee-oh SACK-uh-rum)

37
Q

What are Cocktail Bitters?

A

A botanical-infused spirit that is highly aromatized and used to add flavor to drinks(and sometimes, food). They are bitter or bittersweet in flavor.

They often contain alcohol, such as in Angostura Bitters, but are not normally considered a beverage on their own. Cocktail Bitters are kept in a “dasher” bottle to add small amounts to a drink for an accenting flavor and aroma.
