About this drink

Accounts of the Martini's origin differ: some trace it to the nineteenth-century Martinez, others to an Italian vermouth house or a Californian town of the same name. What is clear is that the proportion of vermouth fell through the twentieth century, and dryness became the drink's defining trait.
