{"product_id":"the-martini-perfection-in-a-glass","title":"The Martini: Perfection in a Glass","description":"Sophisticated, evocative, and delicious, the martini will never go out of style. Appearing in countless movies--for example, any one of the Bond films--it's one of the most popular and well-known cocktails of all time. Making a martini is simplicity personified, the classic recipe requiring just two ingredients (not counting the garnish): gin and vermouth. And now man-about-town Matt Hranek is here to tell us everything we need to know about the iconic cocktail. Like Hranek's \u003ci\u003eThe Negroni\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Martini\u003c\/i\u003e will give readers insight into the drink's nineteenth-century-origins, as well as the tools for making 35 simple variations of the drink--a combination of recipes from the author, recipes from experts\/bartenders around the world, and iconic versions that any martini fanatic needs to have on hand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Included are the author's own version, always with gin (never vodka), served ice cold and dry with a twist of lemon (or, on \u003ci\u003every\u003c\/i\u003e rare occasions, like when he is hungry, an olive); the Martinez (circa 1849), named for the city of Martinez about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco, where some say this all began; a lime martini, a nod to Hranek's father, who loved a gin and tonic; and New York City legend Russ \u0026amp; Daughters Cafe's own martinis, \"The Lower East Side\" and \"The Smoked Martini.\" There will be details on ingredients, methods (to shake or to stir?), garnish, equipment, glassware; where to get the best martini around the world, and more. Beautiful original and archival photography make this an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a martini.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1579659632\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781579659639\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Hranek, Matt\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Artisan Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Artisan Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Oct 2021)","offer_id":46356805353669,"sku":"9781579659639","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781579659639.jpg?v=1781310764","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/the-martini-perfection-in-a-glass","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
