The Wall Street Dry Martini
London dry gin, dry vermouth, lemon twist — stirred, never shaken
Power lunch distilled into one perfect pour
The Story
The Dry Martini is Wall Street's unofficial handshake — ordered at the kind of steakhouses where deals close over white tablecloths. Since the 1880s, this cocktail has symbolized sophistication, precision, and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what you want. Stirred, never shaken, with just enough vermouth to keep things civilized — it's the liquid equivalent of a power move.
