This is yet another ‘Martini’ that is in no way a Martini. The drink was invented in 2002 by the late Henry Besant at The Lonsdale in London’s Notting Hill.
Besant was a popular figure on the London cocktail scene, and was a protegé of the famous Dick Bradsell. Besant sadly died of an aneurysm in 2013 aged just 40 years.
