Mix It: The Barrel Aged Martinez at Steuben's

Steuben's continues to impress us with its ability to embrace trends without overdoing in. To wit: The Barrel Aged Martinez that is featured in "The 35 Best Bars in Denver [2]." This classic cocktail just may be the precursor to the martini (read about one editor's search for the perfect martini here [3]), but is updated with the cocktail trend of aging drinks in oak barrels. At Steuben's, the concoction of gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino liquor, and bitters is aged to add a smoky, nutty complexity. Here, Randy Layman shows you how to make a version of this drink at home.
