History of the Drink

The Martini is a classic cocktail that has been enjoyed for well over a century. Originally, the term ‘Martini’ referred specifically to a cocktail made with Gin and Vermouth, served straight up in a chilled cocktail glass with a twist of Lemon or Olive garnish.

However, over time the Martini has evolved to encompass a wide variety of cocktails made with different spirits, mixers and garnishes. Today, the term ‘Martini’ is often used as a catch-all term for any cocktail served in a Martini glass, regardless of its ingredients or preparation.

While the term ‘Martini’ is often used as a catch-all term for any cocktail served in a Martini glass, many bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts do draw a distinction between the classic Martini and other Martini-style cocktails.
