Description

There was a time when elegant, coupled with martini, would have been redundant. When anyone who knew how to make a martini was upper crust, and anyone who knew how to swill a martini, deserved one. You had to be old enough, successful enough and dashing enough to serve one; pretty enough to accept it; and sophisticated enough to consume it. There was a look, a pace, a ritual and a message, and anyone who was anyone knew it.We like to pretend it was a simpler era, when ladies sipped tea and dames swilled vodka. Women threw more curves with their femininity than their feminism. It was a period when men and women wore hats; when a martini and a cigarette fit in one hand, leaving the other one free for meaningful conversation.Today, the martini once again reigns as the social standard, in supper clubs and martini bars across the country; where the elite, the not-so-elite, and the don't-care-about-elite meet to eat, drink, and greet Mary.We are pleased to continue the celebration with The Elegant Martini, as we present, in all their glory, some of the most popular martini recipes from across the country, as well as savory appetizers to accompany them -- all of which have been perfected and served by some of the most elegant establishments in the nation.Whether art imitates life or life mirrors art, America's love affair with the martini reflects the sampling of the 102 martini recipes to be enjoyed in The Elegant Martini.Martini recipes include a Chocolate Martini from Johnny Love's; the James Bond Martini of The Ritz-Carlton Bar; a Manhattan Martini from The Viper Room; The Peaches and Cream from Club XIX at The Lodge at Pebble Beach; and of course, the Ying and Yang Martiniat Inagiku.What's cooking?
