6 Martinis That Are Way Better Than the One Voted Pennsylvania’s “Most Popular”

If you’re feeling classy, this one’s for you. Martinis are an iconic drink traditionally made with gin and vermouth, majorly popularized by James Bond; who preferred then “shaken, not stirred.”

Recently, a study using Google trends done by Shane Co. found the most popular martini in each U.S. state. According the compiled list, Pennsylvania’s favorite martini is a Strawberry Martini. 

Sure, they’re pretty good, but we know from experience that that is not the best this state has to offer! If you’re looking for a better option, look no further than right here!  

Here are 6 martinis that are way better than a basic Strawberry Martini: 

• The Espresso Martini from W Philadelphia

  The W Philadelphia hotel has a unique take on a classic, adding a MINI CANNOLI to the top of a smooth espresso martini. The innovative drink is not only so creative, but also visually stunning.

• The Rotisserie Chicken Man Martini from Martha

  Martha in Kensington takes an…um…. interesting spin on martinis by adding a roasted chicken leg to the mix. This is a great choice for those of us who are adventurous, for others, though, this may be a glass of “how about…no.” The good thing is, 100% of proceeds will benefit local Philly Community Fridges, so if you don’t like it, at least you’re helping a good cause.

• The Chocolate Covered Cherry Martini from The West End

  The West End in Quakertown has a unique lineup of martinis that are constantly changing! The Chocolate Covered Cherry is part of their winter lineup, featured alongside the Peanut Butter Cup and the Bananas Foster. Lookout for their new seasonal drinks and their drink of the week (which is sometimes a crazy martini).
