What’s Archimedes Got to Do With It?

The Story of the Ten Minute Martini™ and why it’s arguably the finest martini you’ll ever taste.

Over thirty years ago I stumbled on a Martini preparation that eventually became known as the “Ten Minute Martini™”. As you’ll see, this was a bartender’s accident pure and simple.

I was about to stir a guest’s martini when he motioned me to stop and instructed me not to finish his cocktail, indicating he would be back in 5 minutes. Unsure just what to do, I buried the unstirred Martini in the ice well to await his return. Twenty minutes later he did, apologetically saying he would drink the diluted Martini. In spite of my assurances that I would be happy to begin again, he wouldn’t have it. After taking his first taste, my guest’s eyes widened, his grin spanned molar to molar and he said, “Wow! You’ve got to taste this.” Thinking that the product had essentially become water, I again assured him that it was not a problem for me to make another. But he persisted — I should try this Martini. With apologies to the Health Department and decorum police, I did. “Wow!” It was the smoothest Martini I’d ever wrapped my lips around. Smooth and in no way diluted, as we had assumed.
