Martinez

The complex bitter-sweet-botanical classic Martinez pre-dates the Martini but is more like a gin Manhattan. Most well-stocked home bars have all the ingredients on hand. This is a sophisticated, very palatable cocktail with an easy build.

1.25 oz. NOLET’S Silver Gin
1.5 oz. Sweet Vermouth
0.25 oz. Luxardo Maraschino
Angostura Bitters

Add all ingredients to a mixing tin with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
