Selena Donovan’s Rebuttal Cocktail is a riff on the Tuxedo #2, a maraschino- and absinthe-tinted Martini variation. Her sleek update on the classic replaces gin with Grey Goose vodka and amplifies the garnish game with an olive and a lemon twist. “I’m a firm believer that a lady shouldn’t have to choose just one garnish,” says Donovan.
