The martini that has not changed since 1931

Camille Roux has been behind the brass rail of the Fan Bar for eleven years. She is the sixth head bartender to make the Arlington Martini, and like the five before her, she has never altered it.

The gin is kept in the freezer; the glass is chilled for exactly ten minutes. The vermouth is poured in and poured out again. The twist is cut over the glass, never dropped in.

She is less strict about everything else. The rest of the card changes with the season, and she is happy to make you something that has never existed before, as long as you do not call it a martini.
