Description

The Martinez cocktail is a precursor to the Martini and also directly related to the Manhattan. Its abundant use of sweet vermouth decreases the amount of alcohol in the cocktail overall but maximizes flavor. With the addition of Maraschino liqueur, even in a small measure, makes for a delightfully complex cocktail worthy of investigation. For a side by side comparison, mix up a Martinez a Martini and a Manhattan and sip them with your friends.
