A creation by Sam Ross for Milk & Honey, NYC in 2005. His recipe requires a lemon twist as an alternative of the cucumber slice. I’ll go away it as much as you to decide on whichever you like. In any case, it’s an important Martini variation that leans in the direction of the bitter finish of the spectrum.
