Aptly named, the menu at Madeline’s Martini is dominated by a wide selection of martinis. From tried-and-true classics like dirty and espresso, to unique offerings like the Martini By The Sea (mezcal, sea lettuce brine, bianco vermouth) and Dirty Peacock (vodka, dry vermouth, black olive brine, stuffed olives). Martini enthusiasts can let their imagination go wild at this popular NYC martini bar.

My adviceIf you enjoy the caffeine boost of an espresso martini, I recommend ordering the Breakfast Martini (black tea gin, lemon, marmalade) to shake things up a bit.
