Summary

The Martini is the fabled drink of the sophisticate. From Fred Astaire to James Bond, this seemingly simple concoction of spirits has taken on a life of its own. Nearly every restaurant from Friday's to the Four Seasons has a separate Martini menu. Dozens of hip club/bars have their signature Martinis, and around the holidays new recipes abound. There's even a Pumpkin Martini for Halloween. Now, The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Martinis by professional food author James O. Fraioli and award-winning mixology consultant Vincenzo Marianella not only share over 150 mouthwatering recipes for this fabled drink, but shows you how to mix them all properly. Accented with delicious facts about the history and lore of Martinis, this will make the perfect addition to everyone's 'bar library.' Just in time for the holidays, too.
