It's Martini Time is the fourth album by The Reverend Horton Heat. It was released by Interscope Records in July 1996. It's Martini Time is the first Reverend Horton Heat album to feature Scott Churilla on drums, following Taz Bentley's departure from the band in 1994. It is also the first Reverend Horton Heat album to chart on the Billboard 200, reaching number 165 (the second highest position of a Reverend Horton Heat album on that chart).

"Rock the Joint" is the 1952 Bill Haley version with new lyrics and a different arrangement than the 1949 Jimmy Preston recording.
