Martinez cocktail

Dating back to at least the mid 1880’s, the Martinez cocktail inspired a range of cocktails including the Martini and Dry Martini.

If you’ve never tried the Martinez Cocktail, you’re in for a treat. This delicious gin classic is an older version of the Manhattan that inspired the Martini.

A mix between a Manhattan and Martini, this cocktail is actually seen as the precursor to the Martini, originally made with Dutch Jenever, both styles of Vermouth and with the extra touch of maraschino. Bartender Tip: Experiment with different styles of Vermouth and Gin or get some Dutch Genever

A likely ancestor of the classic martini, the Martinez cocktail recipe punctuates lightly sweet “Old Tom” gin with a combination of bittersweet, dark vermouth and fragrant Maraschino liqueur.

Follow this step-by-step Martinez cocktail recipe and make the classic tin cocktail at home in just five minutes.
