Despite long history, martinis still thriving in Brew City
There is something about a martini. Maybe it’s the glass: tall, stemmed and sometimes intricately designed, or perhaps it’s the crisp, cool liquor that just kisses the upper quarter of that glass when properly poured. Or maybe it's the implied status boost. Doesn't matter why; Milwaukee just loves 'em.
