The martini programme

Gin or vodka, wet or bone dry, twist or olives, up or on the rocks, stirred to proper dilution and served genuinely cold. Ask for a 50/50 for something lower proof, a Gibson with pickled onion, or a dirty pour with extra brine and blue cheese stuffed olives. The espresso martini is pulled fresh each service day, shaken twice and double strained, and can be ordered affogato style over pistachio or vanilla gelato.

  • Classic Martini

    Gin or vodka, dry vermouth, orange or lemon bitters

    Stirred cold and served up with a lemon twist or olives. Tell us your spirit, your vermouth ratio, and how you like it - wet, dry, or 50/50.

  • Dirty Martini

    Vodka or gin, dry vermouth, olive brine, blue cheese or castelvetrano olives

    Our house dirty: a measured pour of brine so it stays savory without going flat. Served up, ice cold, with skewered olives.

  • Filthy Martini

    Extra olive brine, dry vermouth, vodka or gin, olive skewer

    The dirty martini turned all the way up - double brine for a briny, saline finish. Order it with blue cheese stuffed olives.

  • Pornstar Martini

    Vanilla vodka, passion fruit, lime, vanilla, prosecco sidecar

    Tropical, foamy and bright, served with a chilled sparkling sidecar. Sip, then shoot the prosecco.

  • Lemon Drop Martini

    Citrus vodka, fresh lemon, triple sec, sugared rim

    Fresh-squeezed lemon shaken hard for a crisp, tart pour with a sugar rim. The most-ordered martini on the list.

  • Espresso Martini

    Vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, three beans

    Pulled to order and shaken to a thick crema. Rich, roasty and just sweet enough - the drink Sarasota orders after dinner next door at Masō.
