NEW TRENDS IN MARTINIS FOR 2002
NEW TRENDS IN MARTINIS FOR 2002
SEATTLE (Wireless Flash) Fashion isnt the only thing that changes from year to year martinis do too. Thats according to Seattle-based bartender and martini recipe inventor Patrick Haight, who is predicting martini trends for 2002. He says this years hot Kingston martini made with vodka, Midori and pineapple juice will be toppled next year by his Las Vegas Martini, made with vodka and Goldschlager garnished with a playing card. Haight predicts the trendiest tinis will have an emphasis on the garnish like his tequila-based Mexi-Tini which is garnished with a gummy worm. The Calvin Klein of cocktails also predicts the Chi-Town Martini garnished with a Blue cheese-stuffed olive and the Coconut Martini topped with shaved coconut will be popular. Purists may say a true martini is made with gin, but Haight claims the fancy-shmancy martinis always outsell gin ones.
