NOMAD ESPRESSO MARTINI
The espresso martini, made with vodka, coffee liqueur and fresh coffee, has became a global sensation since it was invented in the 1980s by British bartender Dick Bradsell. At the NoMad Bar in Manhattan, it is one of the most popular cocktails on the menu. But Nathan McCarley-O'Neill, the bar director, has put his own stamp on the recipe, including cold brew liqueur, cold brew concentrate and a touch of aquavit. "By using a concentrate, we reduced the amount of water and dilution being added to the cocktail," he said. "This meant that the espresso martini had a distinct freshness to it." For the NoMad drink, Mr. McCarley-O'Neill makes his own concentrate, but for home bartender purposes, a high-quality purchased brand like Stumptown can be substituted. The drops of saline solution - a common trick that cocktail bartenders have been employing for more than a decade - serve to bring out the drink's innate flavors.

THE IMPROVED DIRTY MARTINI
"Dirty martini" is a dirty word for many bartenders who find the drink - a martini with a salty slop of olive brine - unimaginative and unappetizing. Naren Young, a New York bartender, decided to create a better version, called Olives 7 Ways, with several bespoke ingredients. That cocktail, served at Saxon & Parole, is fairly complicated to make, so Mr. Young came up with yet another, easier variation for the home bartender.

Steps:
- Combine vermouth and chopped olives in a sealed glass container and let sit for 3 days. Shake periodically.
- Chill a cocktail glass by filling it with ice or putting it in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
- In a mixing glass filled three-quarters full with ice, pour the gin and 1 1/2 ounces of the infused vermouth. Stir until chilled, about 30 seconds, and strain into the chilled glass. Carefully drip a few drops of olive oil (with an eye-dropper, if possible) onto the drink's surface. Serve with a small dish of mixed olives.
