    “The only THE MARTINI American Mixed Origins invention as There’s no cocktail more distinctly American than perfect as the martini, yet its origin is a murky one. Many historians follow the martini back to the California the sonnet.” Gold Rush. The story goes that a miner walked into — H.L. Mencken a bar in Martinez, California and asked for a drink to celebrate his fortune. The bartender threw together what he had on hand — sweet vermouth, gin, bitters, maraschino liqueur, and a lemon slice — calling it a “Martinez” after the town. The Martinez became a hit, and was published in the Bartender’s Guide in 1887. Yet there are other claims on the cocktails origin. Author and historian Barnaby Conrad III, asserts that The Occidental Hotel in San Francisco is its true birthplace. Another story claims a New York bartender invented it at The Knickerbocker Hotel in 1911. Then there’s also the claim from an Italian vermouth maker, Martini, which started marketing its product under the same name in 1863. Although its origin is a mystery, the Martini is an American icon. Taking Form During Prohibition easy access to gin led to the Martini’s popularity, and its most recognizable form. By 1922, preparing a Martini consisted of London dry gin and dry vermouth combined at a ratio of 2:1, stirred in a mixing glass with ice cubes, and the optional addition of orange or aromatic bitters, then strained into a chilled cocktail glass. Shaken, not Stirred No real or fictional character has done more for the classic martini than James Bond, making famous the line, “Shaken, not stirred”.

  • Ultimate Martini Contemporary Cosmopolitan Lemon Drop
    While the origin of the martini is unknown, it dates back to the late 19th century when many variations used gin and vermouth. Today’s martinis use premium vodkas, gins and vermouths. Our martinis are stirred and shaken to properly combine the ingredients while limiting dilution. 13 Ultimate Martini Belvedere Unfiltered is made with Dankowskie Diamond Rye, but left unfiltered for a distinctive sea air flavor and creamy mouthfeel. It’s a whiskey drinker’s vodka. 12 Contemporary Cosmopolitan Grey Goose shaken with Cointreau, Cranberry Juice and Muddled Limes as a nod to the Cosmopolitan, made popular in the 1990s. 13 Lemon Drop The Botanist Gin has flavors of Lavender, Lemon Peel and Herbs. Shaken with Fresh Lemon and garnished with a Basil Leaf. 13 Botanical Martini Hendrick’s Gin is from Scotland, has notes of Cucumber and Rose and is paired beautifully with the Citrus flavors of Lillet. Created in the 1870s, the original Manhattan was made with rye whiskey. Today there are many varieties of whiskies, from small batch rye to traditional bourbon, with distinct flavors that we carefully pair with unique vermouths and bitters. 14 Rye Manhattan Bulleit Rye has notes of Cherry, Tobacco and Cinnamon and is paired with Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth. Stirred with Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters. 14 Craft Manhattan Woodford Reserve Bourbon has a bouquet of Banana Bread, Orange and Vanilla and is paired with Dolin Rouge, a lighter Sweet Vermouth. Stirred with Orange Bitters. 13 46 Manhattan Maker’s 46 has a bouquet of Vanilla, Nutmeg and Caramel and is paired with Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth.

For this occasion, The Compagnia Sacco invited Giuliano d’Angiolini, an Italian composer and musi- cologist, originally from a neighboring valley, who lived and still lives in Paris. I was glad to meet the author of the article that inspired me to make the film. He was familiar with some of my publications and had seen my earlier documentaries when he was a student at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena (Italy), where the father of Italian ethnomusicology, redentore rebaudo and nicodemo martini Diego Carpitella, invited me to a summer seminar in 1984. While in Ceriana, I spoke about my particular way of filming PREPARATION music, distinctive from TV norms and aesthetics.
