Amidst Silver Lyan’s menu of party drinks—Appletinis, Jell-O shots and more—the Martini service is, by comparison, restrained. But even though it’s not as Technicolor as the rest of the menu, and it isn’t garnished with a balloon, the drink’s sleek Martini glass and selection of garnishes still make for an indulgent serve. This recipe is for the 50/50, one of four Martini styles available on the menu.
