Martini Chat - Martini Recipes & Cocktail Culture

Cyber Monday is coming - are you holiday shopping?

Word on the street is that online shopping is going to come close to eclipsing mall traffic.

Once in a while, the hustle and bustle of the mall is fun - and you certainly get the immediate gratification of touching, feeling, smelling, buying and taking home your purchase.

Although the shopping gratification is not immediate - online shopping is convenient, safe, abundant - and you can shop 24/7 from the comfort of your home.

Monday 11/23/2009 is "Cyber Monday" - the official kickoff of the online holiday shopping rush. We're ready to go - stop by MartiniArt.com on Cyber Monday and Cyber Tuesday for some very cool special deals.

If you need some tasty martini recipes for the holiday season, we've got you covered. Check out these contest winning martini recipes.

Cheers!

Yes - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy stopped by...

On 9/20 we hosted a swanky cocktail party (actually it was quite casual) after the BBVD show in Tecumseh, Michigan. We were so happy that some of the band stopped by to mingle and sip some martinis! Fantastic show and great to meet these talented and very nice folks. Check out a cool photo of the event.

Hendrick's Gin revisited - this stuff rocks

I do enjoy a gin martini now and again...but MartiniGuy is a big fan of vodka. That being said, this weekend was all about experimentation with Hendrick's - and again, I am reminded why this stuff is magical.

If you've never sipped this gin, you need to run right out and find a bottle now - immediately. No worries, I'll wait until you return...

Cool, welcome back.

Hendrick's is produced in small batches, distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. While every gin is unique (ok, most are unique) in their infusion ingredients - Hendrick's departs from the usual "heavy in juniper" flavoring standard.

Best described as cucumber, rose petals & a hint of burnt orange - this gin amazingly smooth and lends itself well to a freezing martini. Enhance the flavoring with a simple cucumber slice garnish and you'll be enjoying the perfect martini.

No wonder we awarded Hendrick's Gin a 5 out of 5 olive rating at martiniart.com - take a look at our review.

Now, shake up a martini with Hendrick's! You can thank me later.

Cheers.
