Tip of the day, always clean your counters immediately after making a  drink. Trust me, the customers will love you for it.

Dry vermouth and whiskey = not a good mix. But try it out for yourself and see how you like it.

2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters
1 oz (30 ml) Dry Vermouth
2 oz (60 ml) Rye Whiskey
Cherry as a garnish

Let's Make a Martinez Stir

6/15/2023

Why stir? Basically if the drink is CLEAR, you STIR. AKA just spirits. If the drink has CITRUS or is CLOUD, you shake. Hope that makes sense. If not, please don't yell at me. :P

2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
1/4oz (7ml) Maraschino Liqueur
3/4oz (22m) Sweet Vermouth
1.5oz (45ml) Gin
STIR. JULEP. COUPE.
