The Martinez is often considered a key ancestor of the modern Martini. Originating in the mid to late 1800s, one popular origin story suggests it was first mixed in Martinez, California, where a gold miner celebrated his newfound fortune with a special drink.

Popularidad
The Martinez gained prominence during the late 19th century, particularly among the patrons of the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco, who would enjoy the drink before taking the ferry to nearby Martinez. It was a staple in the burgeoning cocktail scene of the era, appearing in bartender guides like Jerry Thomas’ 1887 "Bartenders’ Guide"

It represents the evolution of cocktail tastes and mixology techniques from the sweet concoctions of the 19th century to the more sophisticated and potent drinks of the 20th century. The Martinez remains a favorite among cocktail aficionados and historians, appreciated for its depth of flavor and historical significance.
