Portland's Malpractice cocktail bar challenges traditional drink definitions with its unique offering, "This Is Our Dirty Martini." The drink, featuring Mexican rum and sherry vermouth, raises questions about authenticity in cocktails. Its creator, Rick Munro, plays with complex flavors and unconventional ingredients, blending art and humor in his craft. He humorously critiques overly elaborate drinks while creating innovative cocktails that intrigue the palate. The bar's atmosphere, combined with the clever mixology, creates an exciting experience for cocktail enthusiasts.
In the drink, officially titled This Is Our Dirty Martini, roasted bay leaf oil glistens on an otherwise pristine surface. The scent of pineapple and peach blossom wafts from the glass with an oceanic breeze, obscuring the brackish punch the cocktail will deliver on first sip.
Munro isn't asking questions about the Platonic concept of a dirty martini for any serious reason. Rather, he's playing with the inherent absurdity of overly complicated mixed drinks as a subject-a cheeky meditation on measured excess.
