The Savory Martini is Grappa’s Mediterranean take on the classic martini, poured in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Built on Greek vodka and dressed with herbed olive oil and feta-stuffed olives, it leans savory rather than sweet, a briny, herbal riff that fits naturally on a Mediterranean table. It is mixed in-house and is a standout for guests who love a dry, savory cocktail.
What’s In It
Our Savory Martini begins with Kastra Elion, a Greek vodka distilled from olives, joined by Foro dry vermouth for a crisp, herbal backbone. A savory tincture and a float of herbed olive oil add aromatic, herbaceous depth, and the drink is garnished with feta-stuffed olives. It is stirred and served chilled, in the spirit of a classic dry martini turned savory and Mediterranean.
About This Cocktail
The martini is one of the most iconic cocktails in the world, classically a simple marriage of a clear spirit and dry vermouth. At Grappa we reimagine it through a Mediterranean lens, choosing an olive-based Greek vodka and building in herbs, olive oil, and briny cheese-stuffed olives. The result is a savory, dinner-friendly martini, from our family to your table.
