"The dry martini is one of the most famous cocktails of all time. The exact origin is unknown, but the most common theory is that it is based on another cocktail from the 1860's called the Martinez. This cocktail, made with gin, sweet vermouth, and Maraschino liqueur, was likely named after Martinez, California. The first printed recipe for a martini was in 1888, but it looked more like the Martinez than what it is today."

The dry martini evolved from the Martinez, a 1860s cocktail made with gin, sweet vermouth, and Maraschino liqueur, likely named after Martinez, California. The exact origin of the martini remains uncertain, but the most common theory traces it to the Martinez. The first printed martini recipe appeared in 1888 and resembled the Martinez more than the modern version. During the 1920s the martini adopted the drier profile and simplified ingredients that define its contemporary form. The martini reached its current form by the 1920s and has since remained an iconic classic cocktail.
