History

A riff on Dick Bradsell's mid-90s Detroit Martini, created in May 2026 by yours truly.

Review

A minty fresh Vodkatini, although some will question the use of "Martini" in the name. However, I've added a splash of bianco vermouth to bring Dick Bradsell's original Detroit Martini closer to true Martini territory.
