A Martini may appear straightforward.🍸
That does not mean it is simple to make.
Long before anyone ordered one “shaken, not stirred,” the Martini was a gin cocktail. Gin and vermouth were the whole conversation—and honestly, they still are.
There is nowhere for either ingredient to hide. The structure matters. The balance matters. The temperature matters. The dilution matters.
When the gin and vermouth are working together, the drink is cold, clean, balanced, and precise without becoming stiff.
It asks more from every ingredient in the glass.
That is why we love the Martini and where modern gin has a job to do: bring structure, brightness, and balance without overpowering the glass.
Conniption was built for cocktails that demand more.
