Martini purists decry this development: while few object to the drink itself, they strenuously object to it being called "a martini." The martini, they insist, is a gin-based cocktail; this variation should be designated as such, with the name "vodka martini" (it may also be called a "vodkatini" or a "kangaroo").
By one widely disseminated account, the martini is a descendant of the Martinez, an older, sweeter cocktail consisting of two ounces of sweet vermouth, one ounce Old Tom gin (a sweetened variant), two dashes maraschino cherry liquid, and one dash bitters, shaken with ice, strained, and served with a twist of lemon.
The martini was an established American cocktail at the beginning of the 20th century, but did not attain its pre-eminent status as the country's classic cocktail until later in the century.
PaulMartini was born on January 25, 1889, in Frankenthal in the Palatinate.
In 1932, PaulMartini was appointed Professor for Internal Medicine at the University of Bonn and continued his therapeutic studies in his function as director of the medical clinic, which also provided services to the neurological division at the time.
PaulMartini, who received a large number of honors and awards during his lifetime, died on September 8, 1964, at his hunting lodge in Galenberg in the Eifel region.
