Here's the history of this inspiring cocktail, tasting notes for individual brands of gin, vodka, and vermouth, and recipes from fabulous bars from coast to coast.

This review is from: Martini Companion (Hardcover)
A fine complement to the earlier book "The Martini" by Barnaby Conrad. This book combines the history and philosophy of the martini (the principal focus of the Conrad book) with a collection of interesting recipes.
