Often named "Father of the Martini," this historic recipe is nuanced and well balanced. It emerged in print sometime in the 1860s! The Martinez is rich and aromatic enough for a cold weather night yet floral enough for a hot summer day. It’s a great cocktail for someone that wants something a bit darker in flavor and richness but without brown spirits.
