Martini Recipes

I know many traditional Martini connoisseurs will tell me that there is only one true Martini, gin and dry vermouth. Very true, a Martini is a Martini, but who's to say an Apple Martini or an Orange Martini cannot have "Martini" in their names also? There are distinct differences between the classic Martini and the many cocktails that have adopted the "Martini" tag. Yet another side of this "debate" is the habit of calling any drink served in a cocktail glass a Martini. This is really a matter of convenience due to the fact that a cocktail glass is also called a martini glass and the association is made.

Thanks to the revival of the cocktail culture and some very creative mixologists have treated our taste buds with some great flavor. Many of these "new" Martinis allow us to indulge in our favorite flavors including fruits and chocolate while others substitute the traditional gin with another base spirit or simply use a garnish other than an olive.
