      Martini with an oliveThe Martini; the most elegant of cocktails.

      It was created on-the-fly in 1874, when a gold miner who had just struck it rich strode into a saloon in the Bay Area town of Martinez and ordered Champagne to celebrate his good fortune.

      The bartender did not have Champagne in stock; so instead, he concocted a new libation comprised of gin, bitters and sweet vermouth; and dubbed it the Martinez Special.

      Over time, the “ez” slurred into an “i” and the Martini went on to become the drink of choice amongst movie stars, politicians, kings, queens and Bond… James Bond.
