Скачать или смотреть Master The Classics: Martinez

The Martinez is one of those old drinks with a lot of stories surrounding it's creation but not much concrete evidence about where it came from. It is widely regarded as the Father of the Martini, or at least had a huge amount of influence on it's creation.

It is said to have been created sometime around 1860 but was first published in O.H. Byrons "The Modern Bartender" in 1884. In his book Byron states that it's the "same as a Manhattan, only you substitute gin for whiskey." This led to a lot of confusion because he published two recipes for the Manhattan but doesn't tell us which of these variations the Martinez should follow.

Both Robert Vermier and Harry Craddock presented drier versions in later years, which greatly added to the confusion about what a Martinez is and how one is made, or at least which, in all these versions came first!

As a result I have many differing recipes on this drink and I will over time share them all with you. So this video is my presentation of the first of at least three different recipes I like and think it's worthwhile for you all to know.
