The Martini

Martinez Cocktail - Martinez Special - Martini: the libation universally celebrated as the quintessential cocktail enjoys no documented nativity. Despite aspirations of adoptive metropolises the sensible historian recognizes a likely heritage that begins in Martinez California. Yet like the last swallow of gin vermouth and olive brine swirling at the bottom of a glass the veil of time obscures important details of this sought-after story. Now inside this book you will find clarity in a delightful martini tale told twice. Illustrated prose encourages gathering close and reading aloud while a second form provides a play in one act to be performed and enjoyed by a gathering of friends.
