Made with equal parts gin, Compari and sweet vermouth, the aperitif comes in a martini glass and has a beautiful amber hue that's much classier than the electric pink cosmo. The birth of the martini awaited the arrival of dry vermouth via the French to New Orleans in 1851, though Italians still profess their sweet vermouth arrived first in 1834 (Edmunds 78).
