Employees Only Martinez
Nick Caruana

This is easily one of my all-time favorite cocktails. It's a variation on the classic as served at Employees Only in NYC, and it appears in the excellentSpeakeasybook by Jason Kosmas and Dushan Zaric. Flavorwise, it's somewhere between a traditional Martinez and a Martini.

Note:Don't want to bother with making the absinthe bitters (the first step below)? The easy way out is still darn tasty: just rinse the glass with a generous amount of absinthe or Green Chartreuse, and leave the excess in the glass rather than pouring it out.
