Top honors in our blind tasting of freezer Martinis went to Bobby Heugel, the Houston-based cocktail bar owner and a known Martini obsessive. The panel recognized this drink’s classic London-dry profile and embraced it right off. (Heugel has been known to sell this rendition as a 750-milliliter “Bobby’s Martini” at Anvil Bar & Refuge.)
