Hi friends,after finished reading an article entitled "I make a mean martini",I got confused because the whole article has nothing to do with martini..or rather it doesn't even mention the martini...I'couldn't figure it out what does people really mean by saying"I make a mean martini or I fix a mean martini"..may you help me,please?Thanks in advance and wish you a very nice day.
:D

"I make a mean martini," or, "I fix a mean martini," means, "I can make a very good martini."

Hi,

I don't think it's an idiom.
