The Martinez is the one of the predecessors to the Martini. This cocktail adds sweetness to the gin-vermouth combination with the use of sweet vermouth and a small amounts of maraschino liqueur, resulting in a smooth and uplifting drink that is perfect anytime of day. Some Martinez recipes use dry vermouth and/or Cointreau (instead of maraschino). The story of the Martinez is that it was created by Professor Jerry Thomas for a patron traveling to Martinez, California.
