Though coconut oil-infused gin is the main player in Columbia Room bartender Tom Martinez’s -tini, he also shouts out other variations on the classic — the “50-50,” with the vermouth half here between Cocchi Americano and Dolin Dry; the dirty martini, via olive bitters; and the Gibson, given nod via cocktail onion garnish.

Editor's Note
Coconut-Washed Plymouth Gin: In a bag, combine 750ml Plymouth Gin with 2 teaspoons coconut oil and let it stand at room temperature overnight. The next day, place the whiskey in a freezer to chill and solidify the oil. Separate oil from gin by straining through cheesecloth.
