The Murky History of the Martini
The martini, with its basic ingredients and air of refined panache, is one drink that cannot be outshone by the latest trends. But where did this delicious drink originate from? Like the dirtiest of martinis, the history is more than slightly murky...
One prevalent theory points to the town of Martinez, California, where historians and town inhabitants alike claim the drink was invented during the mid-1800s Gold Rush. A gold miner who had recently struck it rich decided to celebrate his good fortune at a local bar. He requested Champagne, which they didn’t have, so the bartender insisted on concocting another beverage made from ingredients he had on hand: gin, vermouth, bitters, maraschino liqueur, and a slice of lemon. Thus, “The Martinez Special” was born.
