Not so far removed from a Corpse Reviver No. 2 in style, this gin-laced aperitivo is dry and aromatic with intertwined citrus and herbal notes.

History:
Adapted from the "Mar del Plata" (Sea of Silver) recipe in Mario Kardahi's book 1966 Ratado Práctico De Coctelería, Pastelería Y Afines, published in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This cocktail is named after the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina's glamorous coastal resort, famous during 1940s–60s for its luxury hotels, casinos and nightlife.
The book attests that this cocktail won Second Prize in the 1964/65 World Team Competition and First Prize in the 1964/65 World Individual Competition. Enzo Antonetti (a noted Argentine bartender and world cocktail champion) collaborated on the book and may have been the creator of this cocktail.
