The Martinez Cocktail — the OG Martini
Before the Martini, there was something better. The Martinez is richer, more aromatic, and the perfect bridge between the 19th-century bar and your home bar. Learn the history, the build, and a pro tip for swapping bitters with smoky or herbal alternatives like mezcal or amaro.

Recipe
1.5 oz Old Tom Gin (or London Dry)
1.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
¼ oz Maraschino Liqueur
2 dashes Angostura or Orange Bitters
Garnish: Orange peel
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled coupe.

Pro Tip
If you don't have Old Tom gin, use a London Dry and add simple syrup. For every once of London Dry, add half an ounce of 1:1 simple syrup.
