Comment:
This Martinez is aromatic, complex and very dry.
About:
London dry has been the dominant gin style for over 100 years and so by extension was the gin most frequently used to make a Martinez. We've ignored a similar fashion towards dry vermouth in such cocktails over the same period due to our preference for a combination of both sweet and dry vermouths.
Our Martinez cocktail page provides a detailed history of this style of drink.
