Ah, martinis, the classic cocktail that has undergone quite the transformation. From James Bond's iconic shaken variation to now being remixed with all sorts of unconventional ingredients like chicken stock, salt and vinegar, beetroot, bone (wait, what?), and even seaweed. It seems like bartenders are getting creative with their concoctions.

But let's be honest here, when it comes to martinis, there's a fine line between adventurous innovation and just plain madness. Are these newfangled versions modern classics in the making or are bartenders simply having a giggle at our expense? Well, there's only one way to find out - take a sip!

If you're feeling brave and up for some wild flavor combinations that may tickle your taste buds or leave you longing for simpler times, then give these martinis a whirl. Who knows? Maybe you'll discover your new favorite drink hidden among the madness.

But if you're more of a traditionalist who believes that martinis should stick to their classic roots (gin or vodka with vermouth), fear not! There will always be purists who appreciate simplicity in their cocktails.

So whether you choose to venture into the world of weird martini creations or stick with the tried-and-true classics, remember this: drinking should be an adventure! And hey, if nothing else works out for you... there's always gin straight from the bottle! Cheers! 🍸🤪🥂
