A Drink We Love: Greek Martini

If you're a night owl like us, rolling out of bed for breakfast is often the last thing on your mind. While we don't mind passing up pancakes and bacon, our desire for the hearty, spicy kick of a bloody mary lingers long past brunch. For its nocturnal cousin, head to Clifton Martini and Wine Bar for the Greek Martini ($10). Made with Tanqueray gin, Clamato (a mix of tomato juice and clam broth), pepperoncini brine and Tabasco, this fancy version shows some restraint with a skewer of olives and a single pepperoncini for a slow burn of flavors. 10427 Clifton Blvd., Cleveland, 216-965-0221, cliftonmartini.com
