From the bartender’s corner – Vancouver
This is a rather uncommon gin cocktail. It is a close cousin of the very traditional Martinez. Instead of maraschino liqueur, the twist in this drink is the Benedictine. This drink was created in the middle of last century in Sylvia Hotel overlooking the English Bay in Vancouver.
The ingredients include gin, sweet vermouth, Benedictine and orange bitters.
