How to Make a Martinez Cocktail

The Martinez is a classic cocktail that is believed to be the predecessor to the Martini. It’s a complex and well-balanced cocktail with a rich, fruity flavour. The gin provides a juniper-forward base, while the sweet vermouth adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavour. The maraschino liqueur and orange bitters provide additional layers of flavour and balance out the sweetness of the vermouth. She’s delicious, sophisticated, perfect for any occasion, and absolutely deserves a place at the table.
