마티니(MARTINI)마티니는 칵테일의 제왕이라 불리우며,
드라이진과 드라이버무스의 배합비율에 따라 무궁무진한 맛과 향을내,
1979년 미국에서 출간된 The perfect martini Book 에서는
268종의 마티니가 소개 된 바 있다.
일반적으로 마티니는 마티니, 드라이마티니, 엑스트라마티니로 대별되는데
드라이진의 배합율이 낮은것은 수영복을 입은 여인에 비유되는 "마티니"가 되고,
드라이진의 배합비율이 높은것은 수영복을
벗어던진 누드의 여인으로 비유되는 "엑스트라 마티니"가 된다.
마티니바에는 "내여자 주시오"라며 늘 엑스트라 마티니를 찾으시는 단골고객이 계시기도 하다.
