Preptime: 2 minutes

Whoever said poetry is solely written in words never tried a Bobby Burns. This drink, with its neat blend of Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, and a hint of Bénédictine, is a poetic balance of smoke, sweetness, and subtle herbaceous complexity. A delicate curl of lemon peel as a garnish brings a bright note to this symphony of flavors. It's hearty, it's Scottish, it's a wee dram of Robert Burns' soul served in a glass. Perfect when you fancy something with a touch more narrative than your average Scotch.

Martini
Classic, Short & Boozy
The Martini is, along with the Manhattan, probably the epitome of late 1800s classic cocktail-making. Wild myths of origins, simple preparation that highlights the bartender's craft, wonderful flavor and a healthy kick. Maybe it has its origin in a Martinez, maybe it has roots in a marketing campaign by vermouth company Martini. But it is certain it starts out being made with Italian (sweet) vermouth, and gin. In the early 1900s, it changes to French (dry) vermouth, which gets known as a dry martini. Then comes Churchill, Bond, and suddenly the 80's. The recipe stands for itself, but let us stress here that Espresso Martinis, Pornstar Martinis, and Breakfast Martinis are not martinis at all.

Espresso Martini
Modern Classic, Dessert
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, as the bard said. In the 1980s anything served in a stemmed triangular glass was a martini, and no one had the stomach for actual martinis. Hence comes Pornstar-, Breakfast and French martinis, and of course, the star of the show, the Espresso Martini. Technically a dessert cocktail more related to a shaken Black Russian, it has become a staple at any bar worth its salt for the last 30 years.
