Peacock Alley Martinez
This is the version of the classic Martinez cocktail — the possible progenitor of the martini — that Frank Caiafa serves in the plush surroundings of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel’s Peacock Alley bar. It’s made in the “perfect” style (that is, with both sweet and dry vermouths) and is as elegant as it is potent.
