Martini
Martini Trade name for a brand of vermouth; now also the name for a cocktail based on gin and vermouth, reputedly invented by San Francisco barman Jerry Thomas (1862). A sweet martini is made with Italian (sweet) vermouth; a dry martini with French (dry) vermouth; the proportion of gin may vary from 50 to 90%. A vodka martini (vodkatini) contains vodka rather than gin.
