Mancino's official spec for the 1880s Martinez — widely considered the bridge between the Manhattan and the modern Martini. The Chinato's Barbera d'Asti base and China Calissaja bitterness replace the original sweet vermouth, giving the drink more depth and structure than the standard build. Old Tom gin (less dry than London Dry) keeps the period feel.
