There’s something utterly seductive about some cocktails.
W. SomersetMaugham said amartini “should always be stirred,
not shaken, so that themolecules lie sensuously on topof one
another.” Thoughmartiniswere born of gin and vermouth, this
sensuous cocktail calls for Hennessy cognac, which lends com-
plexity. The traditional grapes used tomake it are fruit forward
and high in acid, so that they not only balance the sweetness
of the drink but reinforce the apple flavor.
