GAZETTE PICK: THE OFFICE'S MARTINI
These are not froufrou times, but they are times that call for a stiff drink, and none is better than the classic gin martini that mixologist Nate Windham serves at The Office, a bar above Blondie's. He mixes small-batch Junipero gin with a splash of Noilly Prat dry vermouth and a dash of orange bitters, then kisses it with a lemon twist.
