Martinis are the classic cocktail for the refined palette. Whether you enjoy them wet or dry, shaken or stirred, dirty or not, their versatility are what make them the perfect choice for your next gathering or night out on the town.
L'Ostrica, Lolo Martini
The LoLo Martini, made with Sipsmith London Dry gin, Dolin Dry and Dolin Blanc, is a savory gin martini with a splash of Manzanilla sherry and kombu saline, which add depth and body without being heavy-handed. It’s delightful on its own, but even better with the Lolo oyster sidecar, which comes topped with Tsar Nicoulai caviar. It’s available year-round on their cocktail menu, which can be enjoyed with tasting menus or at the bar.
Rada, San Sebastian Martini
Try this unique cocktail featuring gin, tximista vermouth, bay leaf, basque pepper brine, and olive with your choice of tapas and shareable plates. Rada opened in January in Myers Park.
Oshen, Wasabi Martini
A bold and flavorful cocktail where the smooth vodka base meets the refreshing essence of cucumber syrup, creating a perfectly balanced sip. The subtle sweetness lightens the alcohol, while a vibrant wasabi kick adds just the right amount of spice—leaving a lingering warmth without overpowering the other flavors. An adventurous twist on a classic martini for sure.
Ever Andalo, For Ever Martini
Ever Andalo’s Italian menu wouldn’t be complete without an approachable yet thoughtful martini and this one features Tito's vodka, botanist gin, carpano dry vermouth, olive brine, house cured spiced olives, lemon twist. Beverage Director and 2025 James Beard Nominee Colleen Hughes created the “For Ever Martini,” blending the brightness of lemon with the savory, zesty flavors of spiced marinated olives. Try pairing it with an order of raw oysters, housemade burrata and focaccia bread, or marinated white anchovies.
Orosoko, Star Martini
This martini has a name so scandalous you have to visit to find out more. Said to be inspired by a dancer's perfume, this crowd-pleasing cocktail with vanilla and passion fruit, accompanied by a shot of sparkling wine, has spread far from its origins at London’s Townhouse Bar in the early 2000s. The balance between a tropical fruit-forward cocktail and crisp bubbles will delight the most discerning palates. Pairs well with both Latin and Asian seafood items on Orosoko's menu.
