The Dry Martini’s origins are as enigmatic as its flavor. While its exact birthplace is contested, many trace its roots back to the late 1800s, evolving from simpler gin-and-vermouth mixtures into the sleek, iconic drink we know today. The Martini soared in popularity during Prohibition, thanks to the ready availability of gin, and became a symbol of sophistication throughout the 20th century. Immortalized by James Bond and countless Hollywood stars, the Dry Martini remains a timeless classic, synonymous with grace and taste.
