THE ORIGIN OF THE DRY MARTINI:

The Dry Martini, a timeless classic of mixology

The Dry Martini is an iconic cocktail that made its debut in France in 1904. It was first mentioned in the book "American Bar" by bartender Frank P. Newman, who combined gin, chosen for its distinctive character, and vermouth for its smoothness.

Cocktail enthusiasts can enjoy a Dry Martini in three different ways in bars: with a lemon twist or an olive, shaken or stirred, and by choosing between dry or extra dry. In the 1960s, James Bond brought renewed popularity to this drink by having it shaken rather than stirred.

In conclusion, the Dry Martini is a timeless classic that continues to fascinate cocktail lovers around the world. Its perfect blend of gin and vermouth, as well as its various preparation options, make it a must-try drink for all cocktail enthusiasts.
