Join us for a tasting of premium vodkas and gin, great food prepared
by the Uptown Bistro’s Executive Chef Jeremy Wade and sample some of
your favorite martinis made by Chelsea’s Bar Manager Erika Peters.
Martini: According to The Food Lover’s Companion, a martini is “said
to have been named after the company of Martini & Rossi (famous for
their vermouth), this cocktail is made with gin and vermouth, garnished with
either a green olive or a lemon twist. The less vermouth it contains, the
‘drier’ it is. A martini may be served ‘straight up’ or ‘on the
rock.’ It may also be made with vodka, in which case it is called a vodka
martini. A Gibson is a martini garnished with a tiny white onion."
Today’s martinis, still made with gin or vodka, can have almost anything
added to them from Godiva white chocolate liquor, cranberry juice and
Chambord to lemonade, apple Pucker and olive juice. We’ll try some
traditional blends as well as a new one or two. The world is your Martini!
