A Little History:
Others place the birth of the true Dry Martini at the Knickerbocker Club in New York in the first decade of the 20th century, i.e., after the story at the beginning of this post.
From that date on, Dry Martinis transformed into a simpler cocktail.
Two dashes of bitters were mixed with half a measure of French dry vermouth and half a measure of English dry gin, shaken, and served with an olive.
Among the many stories surrounding this classic drink, one tells of the true creator of the cocktail was American bartender Jerry Thomas.
In addition to being the first to mix drinks, he was also responsible for writing what is considered the first cocktail book in 1862, called How to Mix Drinks.
His Martini, called the Martinez, was so named because a customer on his way to that Californian city stopped to quench his thirst and asked Thomas to make him an unusual combination. He decided to mix gin, vermouth, bitters, and a small touch of cherry liqueur. This is why it is considered the first recognized version of this cocktail.
Another theory also places it in the city of Martinez years later, in 1870, when a gold prospector, upon finding his mine, decided to celebrate at the Julio Richelieu for Champagne bar. There was no champagne, but instead the bartender brought him a drink similar to Thomas's, but with a twist: an olive inside.
Although the most widely accepted theory is that the vermouth used to make this cocktail is the vermouth prepared by Alessandro Martini and Luigi Rossi in the mid-1800s.
