So, I’ve been wanting to try this cocktail for a while but didn’t have a decent vermouth to use with it. My martini and rossi vermouth was pretty terrible. Found a few good recipes that call for Carpano Antica Formula but since I still only have Punt E Mes (which I love) it worked well and I feel added some depth. The Martinez is one of the classic cocktails predating and contributing to the creation of the martini. It’s elegant, it has a deep color and a rich taste. It’s a keeper.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces Gin (Bombay sapphire)
- ¾ ounce Punt E Mes Vermouth
- ½ ounce Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
- 2 dashes of Orange Bitters (Regan’s)
- Orange peel sliced long
Add all ingredients into a mixing glass and stir with ice. Strain into a martini glass and twist the orange peel over the drink to express some of the oils then use it as a garnish.
