Martinez Gin Cocktail Origin
The origins of this cocktail are just as unclear as this dark cocktail. Some say that it might have been based on the Dutch genever recipe. Some credit it to bartender Jerry Thomas, who is said to have created the cocktail for a traveling customer. Martinez City, however, credits the cocktail to an unnamed local bartender.
