June 19 is National Martini Day, and Nashville’s top bars and restaurants are pulling out all the stops; from jumbo espresso martinis to booze-free buzz and caviar pairings. Whether you’re into bold classics or unique twists, there’s a martini for everyone.
Here’s what’s on the martini menu across the city:
Wake Up Call at Etch (Zero-Proof Espresso Martini)
Get the buzz without the booze. This spirit-free stunner is made with Lyre’s Coffee, Lyre’s White Cane, demerara and espresso. $11
Frozen Espresso Martini at Jasper’s
A martini should be ice cold. Jasper’s version blends espresso vodka, Grind dark roast rum, chocolate and cold brew. $12
Chaitini at Tailor
Tailor’s signature chai makes its cocktail debut. This spiced remix features Buffalo Trace bourbon, Licor 43, cream sherry, black tea and chai masala. Cozy with a kick.
Jumbo Espresso Martini at Park Cafe
Served in a 44 oz. glass and made to share, this bold, caffeinated cocktail combines vodka, coffee liqueur and cold brew. A total showstopper.
Neapolitan Martini at Sho Pizza Bar
This savory twist features gin, dry vermouth, mozzarella di bufala whey, basil-infused olive oil and caper brine. Made to pair with pizza.
Tini Trios + Caviar at Carne Mare
Go full glam with a flight of three mini martinis for $30, including an olive oil–washed gin option. Add a trio of caviar bumps for an additional $30.
