The martini is a cocktail that consists of gin and vermouth and is garnished with a lemon twist or an olive. The martini has become one of world’s best-known cocktails. E. B. White called the martini “the elixir of quietude” and H. L. Mencken called it “the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet”. I’d have to say, I agree!

It is uncertain where the exact origin of the martini is. Many cocktails with very similar ingredients and names to the modern-day martini were first observed in bartending guides in the late 19th century. One theory is that the martini evolved from a cocktail that was called the Martinez. The Martinez was served at the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco in the early 1860s which people would often go to before travelling on an evening ferry to the nearby town called Martinez. A rival theory posits that the drink was first created by a bartender in Martinez itself. Yet another theory posits that the first dry martini was concocted at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City in 1911.
