The Martinez cocktail has a rich history dating back to the 1800s. Its origins are debated, with claims of influencing modern martinis and having traits of a martini and a Manhattan. The original recipe called for equal parts gin and sweet vermouth, but variations exist. A classic recipe includes London Dry Gin, sweet vermouth, Luxardo maraschino liqueur, Angostura bitters, and an orange twist garnish. Stir and strain over ice for a delightful, old-school cocktail experience.
