The Common Belief: The history of the martini seems to be the subject of great debate in Martini circles. Some argue that the martini was born around the turn of the century (1900 not 2000) and evolved from another drink called the martinez. Indeed in some liturature the word martinez and martini are used interchangeably. The Alternate Story: Some say that the Martini orginated with the British Martini and Henry rifle, (both having a kick). Others say it was named after the Martini and Rossi vermouth that was used in the orginal drink. So next time you want to start a fight just walk into your closest martini bar and ask when and how the first martini was invented and then sit back with your favorite drink and watch the fun.
