Alla scoperta del Dry Martini: storia, curiosità, abbinamenti
🍸
Dry Martini, an iconic U.S. cocktail, difficult to prepare, contains gin and dry vermouth. Jerry Thomas, "professor" and father of modern bartending, possibly invented the Martini in the mid-19th century as an evolution of the Martinez. The first Martini recipe appeared in Harry Johnson's "Bartenders' Manual" in 1888. Popularity in the U.S. grew from 1900, becoming most famous during WWI and Prohibition. The first legal cocktail post-Prohibition was made by President Roosevelt. In 1943, Roosevelt served a Dirty Martini to Stalin at the Tehran Peace Conference. The IBA recipe includes 60 ml gin, 10 ml vermouth dry, and a lemon twist or green olive. Variants include Dirty Martini, Gibson, Vodka Martini, Vesper Martini, and Hemingway Martini. Drinks International ranks Dry Martini as the seventh most-requested cocktail globally. Martini pairs well with olives, caviar, almonds, tuna tartare, and lightly sautéed prawns with lemon.
