If you love the classic gin martini and are looking for a way to change things up, try mixing up a Martinez. This cocktail has all of the same ingredients as a traditional martini, with a few minor tweaks to give it an extra flair.
The origins of the Martinez cocktail are unclear. It's possible that Jerry Thomas, a famous bartender and author in his time who worked at another port city near San Francisco called Oakland may have invented it for one customer.
