Sit back and relax at Catch 35 Chicago, a seafood restaurant in Chicago’s Theater district, and sip on your martini while you listen to Live Jazz Tuesday-Saturday from 6-9pm.
Let’s take a closer look at 3 standard Martinis Shaken or Stirred…..
- Dry Martini made with vodka or gin and a touch of vermouth became famous during the 1920’s

How have martinis changed?
Looking back the traditional stirred vermouth/gin cocktail with a splash of olives has completely changed to a trendier version with vodka. New drinkers, as well as vodka lovers in general prefer a vodka martini because its neutral flavor allows it to easily mix with a wide variety of juices/creams/liqueurs.
