Gin, Vodka, Dry, Wet, Dirty, Espresso, the list goes on and on. How even one think about the “perfect” Martini, when there are so many choices?
You know what? They are all perfect in their own way. That’s why I can’t just have one favorite Martini, so I’ve put together a list of my top 10 favorite martinis and their recipes, made by the best Martini makers in the business!

Great Martini Recipes
The classic!
This iconic Martini is a must while in London. Alessandro Palazzo and his crew are most assuredly stirring the Dukes Classic Martini for guests as I sit here writing this piece. If you can’t be at Dukes, then at least you have his recipe to keep you company until you book that flight over here! (FYI Ian Fleming used to drink here!)
One of the greatest luxuries is sipping any cocktail in the Art-Deco wonder that is the American Bar of the Savoy Hotel in London! This Martini recipe invites you to make, not one, but a whole bottle of their Martinis!Â
The number one cocktail recipe! Everyone wants an Espresso Martini!
This Martini turns the whole concept of a Dry Martini inside out with emphasis on the vermouth, plus a dash of Creme de Mure just to keep you on your toes!
I had to include this fabulous Martini recipe from Fabiano Latham, Rekya Vodka's Brand Ambassador! Rekya Vodka stirred down with pure glacier ice and then some lemon zest. Transports you right to Iceland in one sip!
Hendrick’s Gin redefined the Martini with a slice of cucumber and a whole lot of smarts!! Here is the recipe for its idiosyncratic Tini Martini as well as its big girl Martini!
Named for a Bond girl! This martini has both vodka and gin. You whether you love it or hate it!
Invented by the famed Douglas Ankrah at the London Townhouse Bar, the Pornstar Martini is a favorite all over the world!
Pink due to many drops of Angostura! It has quite a reputation!
Here’s another to make right now!
