New Club Room Opens At Eddie's
The annual Eddie Martini's CF party was a smash. Perhaps the talk of the party was the constant mention of people saying how nice the new Club Room off Eddie's bar looked. The room, innmediately adjacent to the bar has become a guest favorite almost overnight. According to General Manager Chris Murphy, "The room allows our guests greater access to the bar area and its added seating allows more people to take in the entire Eddie's experience. Every comment we have had on the Club Room has been positive. It is a great place to sit." So, then, here's a tip on how to make an exceptional martini from the Club Room. The secret is first, to use quality ingredients, then you need to use just enough dry Vermouth to carefully round out the sharpness of the gin, but not so much that the drink flattens out from having too much Vermouth. There is also a third important ingredient to a Martini, and that is water. The water is added to a Martini from the ice that is used to mix it with, often this is from 3/4 to 1 full ounce of water, depending on how much ice is used, what size the ice is, and how long it is stirred (or shaken). The role of the water in any cocktail is to calm down the flavors all around and to reduce the "burn" of the alcohol. This is extremely important for creating a martini that is smooth and relaxing.
