The Martini: An Illustrated History of an American Classic by Barnaby Conrad IIIMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is really a love letter from the author to the classic gin & vermouth cocktail. Decorated with many images of martinis in film and art it explores history without attempting anything definitive and nods toward trendy variations of each era while always circling back to traditional expression and portrayal. This is an educational and delightful biography of the classic cocktail.
