At chef Hillary Sterling and Danny Meyer’s new Italian restaurant, Ci Siamo, bar director Matt Chavez (formerly the head bartender at The NoMad) has crafted an incredible list of Italian-leaning spins on classics and clever, like this house Martini. A blend of Bordiga’s Occitan gin, Boatyard gin, Lustau’s sherry-based blanco vermouth, Bordiga dry vermouth and orange bitters, it’s a terrific argument for endless tinkering of the classic.
