Fort Worth National Martini Day deals
Hudson House claims the “world’s coldest martinis.” They serve four different martinis – classic (with option to make it dirty), bleu & gold with blue cheese-salted rim and blue cheese olives, espresso and the stone fruit with peach and apricot liquors. While they will not have a dedicated National Martini Day special, the restaurant’s happy hour is from 3 to 6 p.m. with half-priced martinis (making them $8 a pop).
Lucile’s has been voted for Fort Worth’s “best martinis” with 12 flavor variations. Of course, they serve the classic, cosmopolitan and lemon drop but also a firecracker with jalapeno infused vodka, olive juice and jalapeno olives. All martinis are no more than $12.
Walloon’s serves a freezer martini out of a historic Magnolia Avenue bank building. There are two freezer martini variations – one with vodka, served dirty and another with gin and a lemon twist. Join them on Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. for $8 dirty martinis during happy hour.
Little Red Wasp isn’t known for its martinis but offers some fun twists on the classic cocktail. Their peach martini has a touch of elderflower liquor and strawberry popping boba. The lemon drop is dressed up with strawberry and guava syrups. Grab a $6 cosmopolitan on happy hour, which is 4 to 6 p.m. daily.
Dos Mares serves mini martinis only during their daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. They are $7 each or $20 for a flight of three. They offer the classic, dirty, espresso, cosmopolitan and also a Mexican martini (made with tequila) and a house pomegranate.
