All Tastes Arrive At Martini Bar Scottsdale

By Connie Moon


Enjoying cocktails is a familiar way to socialize. Many people have a favorite if not a usual request from at martini bar Scottsdale. One concoction has harnessed the passion and enthusiasm of connoisseurs, and ordering one is sure to start a conversation. People eagerly reveal their preferences about how to mix, chill, and serve it. A gathering place for such keen consumers can be found at martini bar Scottsdale.

The main ingredient in the classic martini, gin, with its blood cleansing properties, was originally used by physicians to help people experiencing dysfunctional kidneys. In an interesting twist, alcohol was viewed then as a help rather than a hindrance to health. This trend has persisted as researchers evaluate the spirit for other healthful applications. This early acceptance of gin probably inspired the earliest recipes for social drinks, the ancestors of the new martinis served in Scottsdale today.

In modern times, the cocktail became the preferred tool for unwinding after work, gaining early acceptance among chic city dwellers and eventually spreading to the suburbs. While the olive was long the favorite garnish, a twist of lemon became popular after World War II. As martinis became widely enjoyed by icons of popular culture in literature, film, music, and the performing arts, even the glass became an emblem for the word and the pleasure associated with it.

Whether gin or vodka or other spirit is mixed, the beverage tastes best served cold. Because ice would dilute the flavor of the cocktail, a special glass is required. The familiar cone shape set on a long stem meets the concoction's special requirements. The top is open wide to permit olfactory appreciation of gin or vodka's scent, and the long stem keeps heat away from the bowl. Many people recognize the distinctive shape. In contemporary times, the originality of garnish additions is limited only by the consumer's imagination.

Many stories abound about the martini. A famous novelist and his spy hero gave rise to a unique version, the 'Vesper', which became an actual phenomenon. This recipe also created two passionate camps about the proper way to mix the drink; those who shake versus those who prefer to stir. A popular cartoon rabbit participated in the more modern designer drink craze, ordering an onscreen carrot martini while he reviewed his day.

People also have strong preferences about the decoration for their cocktails. Now that consumers will make a martini out of any popular flavor of spirit or liqueur, designing an appropriate garnish is like a competitive sport. Any edible from a mint in a chocolate martini to a maraschino cherry in a cheesecake martini can appear. The possibility for thematic decoration is unlimited at bar Scottsdale. While creativity abounds in the mix, nevertheless, the ice cubes stay behind in the shaker, avoiding an appearance in the signature glass.

Whatever recipe a customer chooses, the martini is an unforgettable experience. Never a fad, its popularity experiences waves, yet it always returns to the top of the list, and it is always tasteful. The drink gives a name to popular venues, and, at martini bar Scottsdale, people in the know savor its many flavors.
