Not nearly as hefty as a Negroni or as lean as a martini, this little beauty is a perfect welterweight cocktail for the early fall.

How do you "mix all ingredients" when one is "1 orange"? Should the orange be crushed, segmented, whole, peeled...what? Thanks.

Eric

The orange is a garnish. It is not 'mixed.' Make a large twist using a carrot peeler or a long twist using a canele knife.

Michelle C

A little too sweet. I would use half dry vermouth next time, or less Lizard (though the Luxardo is delicious).

Ross Hunter

A Martinez should always be served as a double. He didn't hit singles.

john p

I figured you half and hollow out the orange and use in place of stemware.
