词汇 | martini |
词源 | martini. H. L. Mencken traced the martini to 1899 and traces the cocktail’s name from the Martini and Rossi firm, maker of a popular vermouth. Others say the drink originated with a now forgotten Italian or Spanish bartender named Martini. The dry martini is made, according to the classic recipe, by drinking a little vermouth, exhaling into the interior of a cocktail glass and filling it with gin—after you drink it, you’ll forget that you for- got the olive. Mencken also mentions the martini sandwich, a dry martini between two glasses of beer, which he says “is fa- vored by many American linguists.” Novelist George V. Higgins called the martini “loud-mouth soup.” |
