Book Synopsis
'When it's Martini Hour, you need a guide and there is no one better than Alice Lascelles.' – Jay Rayner

It’s almost 150 years since someone had the idea of mixing dry vermouth and gin – and yet the Martini is now more popular than it’s ever been. What’s behind this simple drink’s enduring success? And can perfection be reached, with a recipe so renowned, yet as personal as how you take your tea…
 
In The Martini, award-winning journalist, Financial Times columnist and cocktail expert Alice Lascelles goes on a deep-dive into one her favourite drinks – one that’s bewitched bartenders, artists, authors, film-makers and barflies for more than a century.
 
Over the course of 60 recipes, she charts the Martini’s journey from the smoky saloons of 1880s New York to the hottest cocktail joints of the 21st century. Discover old-time Martini twist
