IBA
Widely considered the 19th-century ancestor of the modern Martini, the Martinez originated in the gin-and-vermouth tradition of Victorian-era American bartending. Sweet vermouth and maraschino liqueur wrap the gin in a lush, herbal richness, while orange bitters provide just enough counterpoint to keep the drink from veering into sweetness.
