Creating a new cocktail can be a daunting task, one that the staff at Bar Divani knows all too well. With the change of each season, the Bar D likes to switch up its menu of drinks. When deciding on the new martini drink for this spring, four staffers created unique, off-the-wall concoctions, which were voted upon by a dedicated group of martini enthusiasts, including Corez bartender David Turkel. The drink of choice is the Lambtini. That's right, the Lambini. Created by bartender Hiren Patel, the martini is a fragrant and sweet offering containing Sauza Tequila, grapefruit and lime juice, simple syrup and a dash of bitters. Garnished with a coiled orange rind, this particular treat earned its winning spot with a full, fruity flavor with the familiar essence of tequila beneath - but no lamb. The namesake comes from chic boutique, Lamb (949 Cherry St., Grand Rapids). Recently added to the menu, an order of the beverage results in a coupon to Lamb. If you've never been to Lamb, expect to find select apparel, exotic candies, elegant home décor, gifts, beauty products and more. The Lambtini is available for $8 at Bar Divani, 15 Ionia Avenue Southwest, Grand Rapids, MI 49503, (616) 774-9463. bar-divani.com.
