Having to choose can sometimes be difficult – sweet or tart? The Martinez takes that choice away from you, as it can do both.
This elegant cocktail combines the best qualities of the Manhattan and the Martini, striking a perfect balance between depth and finesse. It's no wonder it's considered the "Father of the Martini." Legend has it that the Martinez was first served under the Californian sun in 1874 – and has since established itself as a timeless classic.
It is best enjoyed from a well-chilled cocktail glass, refined with orange zest, which brings out its complex aromas even more.
