I find lemon juice overpowers more subtle flavors, so I dial it back to 1/2 ounce here. Tasty!

As do I. I have a whole list of potential drink names that are just phrases I find annoying or overly common. Stay tuned for "Social Liberal Fiscal Conservative" and "Short On The Sides Long On Top."

  • Very unexpected and unique drink. When you first sip, its all sweet and fruity, and then the gin and sage together come in to add a bitter finish that is really refreshing, and makes you go back in for more.
  • Very good - 4.5. Enjoyed the sage.

  • Made with GC instead of YC. Considered a modern classic for a reason. The Cynar Flip is better. 3.5★
  • The tequila is unexpected in this setting but it makes for an interesting and worthwhile cocktail.

  • Surprisingly dry and complex. Weird effect because I accidently used the wrong bottle of bitters lavender so I should probably try this one again.

Curated this: removed history to avoid copyright. As a note, we typically frown on X Martinis and they usually stay unpublished. But given the creator of the drink and the efforts underway at the time to simplify and innovate the lackluster cocktail scene, I feel it's an important part of pre-Renaissance cocktail history. Thanks,  Zachary

Zachary Pearson commented on 5/02/2016:

Horatio: O day and night, but this espresso martini is wondrous strange! 

Hamlet: And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in London bars, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
