The Big Cheese ($11) is $2 off during the weekday happy hour at Martinis and More.[/caption]
The Big Cheese at Martinis and More might seem like a traditional martini at first. But on second glance, it is distinct in its homemade touch.
Martinis and More owner Ervin West selects olives and blue cheese at a local market, and he uses piping to stuff each olive by hand with blue cheese for the martini’s garnish.
“I invented [The Big Cheese] because I like blue cheese olives, and every time I bought a batch of blue cheese olives, it wasn’t consistent,” West said. “So I took it on myself.”
The Big Cheese is made with Grey Goose vodka, shaken with a dash of Martini and Rossi vermouth and topped with large stuffed olives.
