Martini

Financial Times drinks columnist Alice Lascelles takes the Martini apart and puts it back together across 60 recipes, tracing the drink from the saloons of 1880s New York to the cocktail rooms of today. Chapters run Classic (the Dry Martini, the Vesper, the Gibson), Vintage, Contemporary and Honorary, with tips on freezer technique, oyster pairings and infusions from olive oil to jasmine tea -- plus the real story behind James Bond's order.
