Description

Martinez can be prepared in three ways: shake – in a shaker, build – directly in the glass in which it will be served, and stir – by mixing and straining. Here’s how to stir.

Ingredients

Gin - 1 fl oz
White Vermouth - 1 fl oz
Maraschino Liqueur - 0 fl oz
Oranges - 1 piece
Marinated cherries - 1 piece
Angostura - 0 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a crystal mixing glass (or a regular crystal glass with a capacity of at least 150 ml), filled two-thirds with ice, first pour in the bitter liqueur, then the sweet liqueur, sweet vermouth, and gin.

Step 2

Immerse a spoon in a glass filled with ice and, gently stirring or swirling the spoon, mix for at least ten seconds to lower the drink's temperature as much as possible.

Step 3

Remove the zest from the orange in a long, twisted ribbon and place it along with fresh ice into a pre-chilled clean glass.

Step 4

Strain the cocktail into a glass filled with fresh ice (bartenders do this using a special cocktail strainer, which is a round disc with a handle, holes, and a spring around the edge).
