"Making a martini speaks to my senses - the sound of ice being dropped into a stainless-steel shaker and the almost brash sound of shaking the chosen concoction fills me with anticipation. The first moment that the elixir, with its tiny ice chips and layers of flavor, touches my lips - perfection. Make your cocktail adventure your own. Try a few new things and enjoy your old favorites. Only you know what you love. I hope one of my recipes makes it into your favorites list!"
