Martini Chat - Martini Recipes & Cocktail Culture

Pomegranate martinis are delicious

The demand for pomegranate martini recipes seems to be going through the roof. On any given day, we'll get a slew of requests for new recipes based on Pom juice. In response to the demand, we just added a new, excluse pomegranate martini recipe section at martiniart.com.

Personally, we love the flavor that pomegranates bring to a martini. Not too tart, not too sweet, unique and beatiful. We'll continue adding recipes to this new section as the summer continues.

On another note - we've stumbled upon a fabulous cucumber infused vodka. Square One cucumber infused vodka is an amazing taste treat. Take a look at the Square One site for more info...and check martiniart.com soon for a bunch of exclusive recipes using this awesome vodka.

Cheers!

Check out Imbibe magazine

Imbibe magazine is way cool - tons of great reading and info on all things liquid (and drinkable). We were quoted in a recent edition about setting up a home bar. Here is an online follow up article to the printed one. It's a great read. http://www.imbibemagazine.com/Expert-Entertaining-Tips

Cool new martini glasses and stuff...

Summer is coming and we've added a ton of cool new martini glasses and stuff. We just added a 3 piece polycarbonate (that's a fancy term for unbreakable, high quality plastic) set that is 100% fun. Check it out.

Amazing cocktail shaker...could it change the world?

Ok, this cocktail shaker probably wont change the world, but it is way cool. Besides looking modern and stylish - its a functional miracle. Flip open the attached lid and it becomes a jigger with marked measures. Fill the shaker with your favorite ingredients, close and shake. The lid also incorporates a strainer. Such a cool item! Check it out at martiniart.com

 

On another note, we had a little feature in the new issue of Imbibe magazine...we were included in a peice on setting up your home bar. Very cool. We'll be including a free issue of Imbibe with all orders, while supplies last.

Cheers.

We found a new vodka - its delicous and fun too

We just posted a little review of 42 Below vodka at martiniart.com. We plan on adding a ton of recipes using this vodka as a base, but suffice it to say that this stuff is awesome.

We went poking around their website, and we thought it was so cool, we had to post a link. Check out their videos. Visit YouTube and search "42 Below." Their viral videos are a blast. Better yet - visit these fine folks at their own home on the Web...42 Below Vodka.

On another note - better late than never. MartiniArt is finally fully moved in to our new warehouse, office, mixing lab...we'll be open for walk in retail on a very limited basis. More details to follow.

Cheers.

The Tea-Tini craze in full effect

There is a new trend emerging in the world of martini mixing. The "TeaTini" is a new twist on a classic cocktail. Creating a TeaTini involves steeping your alcohol base using a specially formulated & flavored tea bag before mixing.

At MartiniArt.com we just began offering a delicious array of TeaTini infusions. We've got some info and recipes to get you started.

Check this out for more info on the TeaTin -  Teatini craze

Just mixed up a new martini for you!

This one is awesome. I love mixing chocolate martinis, but I usually pass them off to my guests (my favs are simple and dirty)...but this one is a desert in a martini glass. It is absolutely awesome.
