Our editors rank the country's top 5:
|
|
Oak Bar - Boston, Mass.
Order the 007 martini, a smooth mix of Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray Sterling Vodka that's shaken, not stirred.
|
|
Mecca - San Francisco, Calif.
Nestle into a cushy booth and sip an Ima gimlet, a tangy mix of vodka, lime and mint served in a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass.
|
|
The Dresden - Los Angeles, Calif.
Supper-club time capsule specializes in '50s gems, including its fundamental rendering of the Sidecar.
|
|
Temple Bar - New York, N.Y.
The straight-up Manhattan, a mix of Angostura Bitters, Noilly Pratt sweet vermouth and either Maker's Mark or Crown Royal, arrives garnished with a cherry.
|
|
The Owl Bar - Baltimore, Ma.
H.L. Mencken--an Owl Bar regular--called the martini made with gin, vermouth and an olive "the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet."
