Cocktail
Rum Martini – Light Rum and Dry Vermouth Cocktail
The Rum Martini replaces gin or vodka with light rum, pairing it with a small measure of dry vermouth and a lemon twist. It is lean, spirit-forward, and subtly sugarcane-driven.
Cocktail
Rye Martini – Rye Whiskey and Dry Vermouth Cocktail
The Rye Martini uses spicy rye whiskey in a dry, Martini-style build with dry vermouth and lemon oils. It is leaner than a Manhattan and deliberately whiskey-forward.
Cocktail
Saketini – Gin and Sake Martini-Style Cocktail
The Saketini replaces vermouth with chilled sake in a very dry gin cocktail. A green olive adds a savory finish while the sake contributes a subtle rice-wine softness beneath the botanicals.
Cocktail
Salt and Pepper Martini – Pepper Vodka, Dry Vermouth and Seasoned Rim
The Salt and Pepper Martini pairs pepper vodka with a trace of dry vermouth and a salt-and-pepper rim. It is very dry, savory, and built around spice rather than sweetness.
Cocktail
Strawberry Martini – Gin, Dry Vermouth, Grenadine and Fresh Strawberry Cocktail
The Strawberry Martini combines gin, dry vermouth, a small measure of grenadine, and fresh strawberry in a lightly sweet, fruit-accented Martini variation. A sugar rim adds a playful finish without changing the spirit-forward core.
Cocktail
Surfers Martini – Citrus Vodka and Dry Vermouth Cocktail
The Surfers Martini is a very dry citrus-vodka Martini variation with just a dash of dry vermouth and a lemon twist. It is clean, cold, and strongly spirit-forward.
Cocktail
Sweet Martini – Equal-Parts Gin and Sweet Vermouth Cocktail
The Sweet Martini is an older, wetter branch of the Martini family built with equal parts gin and sweet vermouth. Herbal, wine-forward, and softer than the modern Dry Martini, it shows how dramatically the drink evolved over time.
Cocktail
Tequila Martini – Blanco Tequila and Dry Vermouth Cocktail
The Tequila Martini replaces gin or vodka with blanco tequila, pairing it with dry vermouth and lemon oils. It is dry, agave-forward, and much closer to Martini structure than a Margarita.
Cocktail
The Andy Martini - Gin-Vodka Dry Martini Cocktail
The Andy Martini is a dry, spirit-forward Martini variation that combines gin, vodka, and dry vermouth. Stirred cold and finished with lemon, it keeps the focus on clean botanical flavor and a crisp finish.
Cocktail
The Captain's Martini – Gin, Dry Vermouth and White Crème de Menthe Cocktail
The Captain's Martini combines gin, dry vermouth, and white crème de menthe in a cool, herbal cocktail with a distinct mint finish. White crème de menthe keeps the drink clear while adding sweetness and mint without changing its appearance.
Cocktail
The Half-Ass Martini - Gin, Vodka & Dry Vermouth Split-Base Cocktail
The Half-Ass Martini is a cheeky split-base Martini-style cocktail combining gin, vodka, and a small measure of dry vermouth. Crisp, spirit-forward, and stirred cold, it keeps the joke in the name rather than in the technique.
Cocktail
Vesper Martini - Gin, Vodka & Lillet Blanc James Bond Cocktail
The Vesper Martini combines gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc in a dry, spirit-forward cocktail made famous by James Bond. Shaken ice-cold and finished with lemon oils, it is crisp, botanical, and bracing.
