For this week’s cocktail, we’ve gone for a lesser-known classic: the Martinez. A relative of both the Martini and the whisky-based Manhattan, this cocktail still holds a firm place in the hearts of some cocktail lovers. This version is made with Opihr Spiced Gin and a vermouth infused with Assam tea, which enhances the gin’s earthy cubeb berry notes.
