If you're looking for a classic cocktail that packs a punch, look no further than the Martinez. This drink, which is believed to be one of the precursors to the modern Martini, is a perfect blend of gin, vermouth, maraschino liqueur, and two types of bitters. The result is a smooth, complex drink that is sure to impress even the most discerning of cocktail aficionados.
To make a Martinez, you will need the following ingredients:
30 ml BARRISTER Dry Gin
30 ml Vermouth Rosso
15 ml Maraschino Liqueur
1 ml Aromatic Bitter
1 ml Orange Bitter
Ice
Orange peel for garnish
Once you have gathered your ingredients, you can begin to prepare your Martinez by following these simple steps:
Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice and set it aside. This will chill the glass and keep your drink cold while you prepare it.
Pour the gin, vermouth, maraschino liqueur, and bitters into a mixing glass. Stir the ingredients gently to combine them.
Add ice to the mixing glass, then stir the ingredients together using a bar spoon for 20-30 seconds. This will chill the drink and dilute it slightly, which will help to mellow out the flavors.
Once the drink is thoroughly stirred, remove the ice from the old-fashioned glass and strain the cocktail into the glass.
To finish your Martinez, garnish it with a twist of orange peel. This will add a bright, citrusy note to the drink and give it a touch of elegance.
And there you have it - a classic Martinez cocktail that is sure to impress. Whether you're sipping it on a hot summer evening or serving it at a dinner party, this drink is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So why not give it a try and see for yourself?
