I can’t believe how many times I get asked to draw martini glasses! They certainly seem to be the flavour of the moment – and I must say I’m quite partial to one myself – the Smoky Martini (with a dash of scotch) being a personal favourite. Shades of Madmen and seedy boardroom lunches with a dash of sophisticated jazz lounge! Here’s a handy backgound tile and the recipe so you feel inspired!

Smoky Martini

2-1/2 ounces gin
Splash of blended scotch
Lemon twist, for garnish
Shake both ingredients with ice then garnish with the lemon twist.
