- Bar Notes
- THERMAL FRAGILITY: Batchability 5/5 (Freezer Martini is modern staple - batching prevents variable stirring dilution), Throughput Medium (stirring to proper dilution takes 45-60 seconds), Survivability 1/5 (LOWEST of all families - served up with no ice, begins warming immediately; warm Martini is operational failure). Temp Sensitivity: Critical.
