Usually traced to Lola's in West Hollywood in 1996, where it started as the 'Adam's Apple Martini'. It became the symbol of the late-1990s flavoured-Martini craze.
Missing something?
- No Vodka? Use Citrus Vodka (Adds a lemon note)
- No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
- No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
