Over the course of 60 recipes, Alice charts the Martini's journey from the smoky saloons of 1880s New York to the hottest cocktail joints of the 21st century - and in the process reveals this notoriously exacting recipe's extraordinary variety. Discover Martini variations such as the Tuxedo, the Marguerite and the pyrotechnic Flame of Love; and what a little olive oil, shiso or jasmine tea can bring to a glass of gin and vermouth. Learn the secret to a perfect Espresso Martini, from the people who know it best; and the hack that will give virtually any cocktail an instant upgrade. Alice revisits the classics - the Vesper, the Gibson and the Dirty Martini - and an array of vintage twists, and rides the Martini new-wave with the help of some of today's top mixologists. Crisply designed and illustrated with stunning photographs, The Martini is a stylish and fascinating guide to one of the world's best-loved cocktails.
