There is probably no better cocktail than the standard martini.  Simple, brisk, and smooth, the martini, if you don’t know, is served with chilled gin or vodka with an amount of vermouth poured into the distinctive martini glass with a garnish, often a green olive.  The variants of the martini mostly refer to the kind of garnish used in the final cocktail; the Gibson martini uses a strip of white onion to permeate the gin or vodka for a very onion flavor.  The Smoky martini goes a few steps further by replacing the vermouth with a splash of scotch and a peel of lemon to give it both a cloudy and spicy flavor.  James Bond’s famous refrain for his particular style of martini, “shaken, not stirred,” refers to the manner of which you chill the booze by shaking it within the cocktail shaker instead of stirring it around, which, some suggest, actually adds to its anti-oxidant amount for reasons that aren’t quite known.   The martini simply is a cocktail that takes on the particular flavors of the garnish in a tight, crisp fashion that has almost no comparison.  Those who enjoy a martini or two when carousing would enjoy these lovely Martini Glasses With Olives Cufflinks.  These silver cufflinks offer the patron a pair of martinis to take with him complete with the garnish that symbolize that he’s not above an adult beverage or two from time to time.  Food and drink cufflinks such as these are great for the carousers who enjoy fine food and spirits to go with an evening of fun and conversation, especially with something as delightfully smooth as the elegant martini.
