Etymology

The word 'martini' is believed to have originated in the late 19th century, with its roots possibly linked to the Italian vermouth maker Martini & Rossi, founded in 1863. However, the exact origin of the name is still subject to debate. Some suggest it derives from the name of a small town in California called Martinez, where a similar cocktail was first created for a gold miner. The cocktail's popularity surged in the early 20th century and has been immortalized in literature and films, particularly by its association with the character James Bond, who famously insisted on his martinis being 'shaken, not stirred.' This linkage influenced the cocktail's perception as a symbol of sophistication and glamour. Over the years, variations of the martini have emerged, including the vodka martini, which uses vodka instead of gin, showcasing its adaptability and enduring appeal.
