All bar toolsThe story of the French Martini
Despite its name, the French Martini is a New Yorker: it was born in the late 1980s at one of restaurateur Keith McNally's bars. "French" refers to the raspberry liqueur, which traditionally comes from France. In the 1990s, the velvety drink with its pineapple foam became a poster child of the colorful martini era.
