Ingredients
- 45 ml London dry gin
- 45 ml Sweet vermouth e.g. Carpano Antica, Cocchi di Torino
- 5 ml Maraschino liqueur e.g. Luxardo
- 2 dashes Orange bitters
- Garnish Lemon twist
Preparation
- Stir all ingredients with ice.
- Strain into a Nick & Nora glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
- Garnish with lemon twist. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
Origin Story
The modern Martinez cocktail is a contemporary take on a drink that is believed to be a precursor to the Martini, originating in the 19th century. Its resurgence highlights the ongoing fascination with classic cocktails and their evolution.
