HG Bar Basics: The Midtown Martini Gift Set

Since the end of World War II, vodka, the colorless, odorless, tasteless wonder has overtaken American drinking culture and, as a matter of course, has come to be a very common base spirit for the martini. Though it’s not the most flavorful, it’s still a very refreshing drink when properly diluted and chilled.

The Martini Set Includes

• 4 Midtown Martini Glasses
• 1 Jar Jack Rudy Vermouth Olives
• 1 Bottle of Ancient Olives Dirty Martini Juice
• 1 Craft Cocktail Shaker
