Review:
A boozy brandy-influenced 'wet' and 'sweet' Martini with a hint of orange. The zesty orange notes help the cleansing attributes of this spirit-forward cocktail, so making it equally suited to the pre-dinner and after-dinner occasions.
History:
First published in Albert Stevens Crockett's 1934 Old Waldorf Bar Days.
AMPERSAND
A. S. Crockett, 1934

The name may be a reference to the '&' in Martini & Rossi, likely the brand of vermouth originally used.
