The Cellar

The Goodall Martini

We are tailors, not barmen. But the two trades ask the same question: for whom, and in what proportion?

A chilled Martini with a lemon twist on a dark walnut counter

Spirit

the cloth

The choice that decides everything after it.

Ratio

the cut

Proportion, judged for one person and not for a house style.

Dilution

the alteration

Small corrections, made until nothing calls attention to itself.

Garnish

the finishing detail

A twist or an olive; a buttonhole or a lining.

Made to measure.

“Some measurements are taken after four.”
