Martinez

This legendary cocktail is the precursor of the most famous of all cocktails – a Martini Cocktail.

Some interesting facts about a Martinez are given here by Jamie Boudreau.

My favorite version of a Martinez Cocktail has sweet vermouth taste with light citrus and floral undertones. Try citrus vermouth by Cinzano (Lemetto or Orancio) for unusual results and new experience.
