Regardless of your line of business, there is no better way to impress the client or close the big deal than over a sumptuous dinner and perfectly chilled cocktails. We went to Mobile’s favorite steak house, Ruth’s Chris, for their take on the heavy-hitter’s martini, perfect for pouring before those big dinners that you have to nail. It makes Mad Men’s dinner meetings look like child’s play.

splash of olive juice
two jumbo olives, for garnish
