So, What’s In a Classic Gin Martini?
2 Ounces of Gin, Chilled
Dry Vermouth
Pour a small amount of dry vermouth into a chilled martini glass. Pour just enough vermouth in order to swirl and slightly coat the entire inside of the glass. Remove any excess vermouth. Add gin to a shaker of ice and gently stir, before straining the gin into the glass. Easy isn’t it!
Don’t forget to garnish with an olive. Some even like lemon twists as well. Serve with or without rocks depending on the drinker’s taste.
How Did the Martini Get Its Name? There are many stories about the origin of the martini. However, there doesn’t seem to be any clear answers as to which one (if any) is true. Among the most popular theories:
It was invented around 1850 by a professor named Jerry Thomas for a miner on his way to Martinez, California.
A bartender in that same Martinez, California invented the martini (originally called the Martinez) in 1870 for a customer who was unhappy with the whiskey selection.
In 1871, it was invented by the company Martini and Rossi (at the time named Martini e Sola).
Some in England believe that the martini was named after a British rifle (a Martini & Henry) due to the drink’s (and the rifle’s) kick.
Finally, there are those that claim that a bartender at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York invented the martini for none other than John D. Rockefeller.
Whatever the true origin, martinis continue to be an extremely popular part of cocktail parties, engagements, weddings and celebrations everywhere.
