A lot of people ask what goes into the perfect martini. Martinis are a very personal drink, and while one person could like theirs very dry another could like there’s completely dirty. The most important aspects of a perfect martini are a chilled martini glass, your favorite vodka or gin, vermouth or juice, ice, and a fun garnish.
I love a good fruity martini during summer.
A local favorite martini an be found at Haydens Post at Snow King Resort. The Indian Paintbrush Cosmopolitan was created by chief bartender John-Mark Roufs and contains house-made grenadine. The state flower of Wyoming is the Indian Paintbrush. It is a beautiful, vibrant and wild flower that blooms all over Wyoming. The IPC is similar in color and packs a good punch.

The coconut ginger martini from The Kitchen is another favorite. It is a perfect blend of sweetness and spice and pairs wonderfully with everything that comes out of the restaurant’s kitchen. The martini is made up of vodka, malibu, and ginger juice.
