Tips

Said like an operator: the key to a good Martini is keeping everything as chilled as possible.
House rule at OUTRCH: as far as gin goes – any London Dry works, as long as it has been kept in the freezer.
Here is the OUTRCH read: tanqueray and Hickson Road Australian Dry are two reliable picks.
Said like an operator: the bar’s go-to vermouth is Noilly Prat, a classic French dry white vermouth. In plain floor language: buy a small bottle so it can all be used before it turns, and keep it in the fridge once opened.
Why a Martini?
