Martini Mania-The Best Picks for National Martini Day- June 19, 2023

Tis the season for parties! It is time to celebrate and enjoy a whole new wave of delicious Martinis.  We have been on the hunt for out-of-the-ordinary Martini recipes, and we have an amazing collection for you.

Martinis have been around since the early 1900s, and of course, the “Mad Men” Three Martini lunch became a staple of Wall Street and Madison Avenue.  All that changed in the 70s and 80s when the classic Martini became old news and wine completely dominated.  

Mixologists started reviving the Martini and getting creative in the late 90s.  We saw the innovation of the Appletini, and Chocolate Martini bring new fans.  Well the flood gates have opened- and the flavor profiles are now limitless-maybe overwhelming?

Aside from our own delicious and decedent recipes, a few of our friends have shared their creative and tasty favorites.   We are featuring the Classics and the Creamys, the Beautiful Holiday, the Charismatic Candy, Nostalgic Pie-inspired, and Amazing Fruit-combination Martinis.

As your favorite party planners, we have taken it upon ourselves to journey through these recipes.  Amazing and such a help dealing with the in-laws!  Start your journey, and celebrate the creativity and taste of Martini Mania: our 25 Martini favorites

BE CAREFUL: James Bond walked into a bar, smartly dressed in a classic tuxedo. He ordered one of our Martinis.  To his surprise- they added a $20 ‘fanciness fee’.

“Wait! What the Hell is this?”, he asked

The Bartender replied… “It’s a Sir Charge”-
