The origins of the San Martín cocktail likely date back to the early 1900s, and various versions have emerged over time. In this particular variation, anisette adds a distinctive touch to the blend of equal parts Gin, dry Vermouth, and sweet Vermouth. The cocktail is named after Don José de San Martín (1778–1850), the Argentine general celebrated as the “Libertador” of Argentina, Chile, and Peru.
