A masterful riff on the classic, our Perfect Martini unites equal whispers of sweet and dry Carpano vermouths with the crisp clarity of Green Hook Gin. Bay Area lore ties its origins to Martinez, where a Gold Rush miner’s windfall sparked a bartender’s genius: gin, vermouth, and a lemon twist. We honor that legacy with a dried lemon garnish—a sophisticated nod to California’s cocktail crown. Rewind to the 1860s: a Martinez barkeep, eyeing a miner’s fat gold stash, whipped up gin and vermouth with a citrus swagger. That first martini wasn’t just a drink—it was a Bay Area flex that conquered the world.
