Afton’s Greek Martini
From Afton Fenn
From Afton Fenn
- 1 to 1 1/2 ounces vodka
- 1/2 to 1 ounce pepperoncini juice
- Small squeeze Worcestershire sauce
- Small squeeze Tabasco sauce (optional)
- Black pepper and celery salt
- Clamato
- Bloody Mary mix
Add the vodka, pepperoncini juice, Worcestershire sauce,
Tabasco sauce, pepper and celery salt into a pint glass full of
ice. Fill the glass with Clamato, then add a splash of Bloody Mary
mix. On a toothpick, layer a pepperoncini and a few green olives,
then add an asparagus spear so that when you place the garnishes in
the glass, the spear sticks out above the rim. Squeeze a bit of
lime into the drink, then drop the lime in the glass to
finish.
“I can say I make one of the best Greek martinis around,” Fenn said, noting that she now has customers who come in specifically when she’s working to get the drink and its many garnishes. “That’s what makes it very pretty; it’s kind of a meal in a glass.”

AMF
From Afton Fenn
From Afton Fenn
- 1/2 ounce vodka
- 1/2 ounce gin
- 1/2 ounce tequila
- 1/2 ounce blue Curacao
- 3 ounces sour mix
- 3/4 ounce Bacardi 151 or Everclear
Mix the first four ingredients in a Collins glass with a
salted rim. Pouring over the back of a teaspoon, layer the Bacardi
or Everclear onto the top of the drink, so it sits on top of the
other liquors. Light that top layer with a match or lighter in
front of your guest and let it burn for five to 10 seconds. Blow it
out, or have the guest blow it out before drinking. Garnish with a
wedge of lime that the guest can squeeze into the drink.
