Martinez
Martinez
All that glitters is not gold, and sometimes the best things in life aren’t staring you in the face.
The Martinez cocktail recipe might not have a pile of biscuits layered on top, or smoke pouring over the side, but it’s the ultimate drink – impressive in its own way.
Mix up a Martinez cocktail because it has both history and flavour on its side.
