The Martinez is a variation of the Manhattan with the substitution of Gin for Whiskey and the addition of Maraschino Liqueur. It’s not entirely clear who invented the drink, but it was invented in the 1800’s and was more than likely named after the city of Martinez, California. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
