""We haven't seen each other for a while," he says, "and [McNeil] was like, 'let's drink like old times,' and I was like, hell yeah I want to get plastered.""
""It's urbane, it's cosmopolitan, it's chic, it's expensive," says Matt Levy, a self-taught mixologist. "It shows that you're making good-ish decisions in your drinking journey.""
""It's like asking will the hamburger go out of style?" Levy says. "Martinis are forever. The martini is infinite.""
Franky Marshall credits the martini's genius to its simplicity and minimal clutter, which enables near-infinite innovation and room for bartenders to put personal spins on the drink as it evolves. Expo attendees consumed many martinis while socializing; Nabil Sarwar and Jack McNeil finished nine between them as part of reconnecting. Some visitors arrived unfamiliar with martinis but left more interested after seminars and tastings, with Jake Manabat shifting from wine to specifying vodka-martini ratios. Matt Levy describes the martini as urbane, cosmopolitan, chic, and expensive, and asserts that martinis are timeless. Organizers have considered staging the Expo in other cities.
