"At the East Village seafood counter Penny I found the Penny Martini, a complex low-ABV creation by Ellis Srubas-Giammanco built on barley shochu and Italian dry vermouth cut with kijoshu sake, brightened with house-made celery vinegar and given body by a lactic acid solution, spritzed with juniper and citrus aromatics and served nearly frozen—precision-built to pair with briny, ice-cold shellfish." - Kat Odell
