You know, there are people who prefer dry versions of a martini. Gin over vodka. Some like it shaken and others will only have it stirred. And where does that all-important olive garnish come in, or is it that important at all?
This National Martini Day, take our word for it and try the martini a different way: Fitty-Fitty. Equal parts spirit to vermouth, this version was created by Pegu Club’s Audrey Saunders, and is a sophisticated version of the classic.
Here are two Fitty-Fitty’s we love! Cheers!
