Synopsis

Written about, hotly debated, immortalized on the silver screen, savored by playwrights, playboys, and politicians, the martini has become a social icon of sorts. In Martinis Ben Reed, dubbed "Crown Prince of the tail Crowd", celebrates the elegance and taste of the martini. Although its contents and techniques are often hotly debated, the invention of the Clic Dry Martini has led to the creation of many tantalizing concoctions, including the ever-popular Cosmopolitan, the Gibson, the fruity French, and the delicate Dirty Martini. Ben also offers recipes for a sumptuous Strawberry Martini, a Lemon Gr Martini, and even a strong, clear, Hazelnut Martini that makes a perfect nightcap. Martinis allows you to indulge in the enduring appeal of this chic, decadent and utterly delicious drink. With great flavors and instant glamour-any time is the right time for Martinis.
