( The first written recipe of what we now consider the dry martini – from Thomas Stuart’s “Stuart’s Fancy Drinks and How to Mix Them” 1896
Note: Stuart’s Fancy Drinks was, it turns out, not published in 1896; it was published in 1904. That confusion arises because of the publisher’s filing date for second-class mailing with USPS appearing on the book’s title page. https://twitter.com/bibulous/status/619939332963463168
