The 50/50 Martini

Scribe
Brooks Reitz, the founder of Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. and the owner of Charleston, South Carolina’s Leon’s Oyster Bar, Little Jack’s Tavern and Melfi’s, created The 50/50 Martini and explains, “it’s a gentler liftoff to the evening, the vermouth bringing the overall alcohol content down to mortal levels, as opposed to the all-booze Martinis that have gained popularity in the last decade.”
