My interpretation:
1.25 oz Big Gin
0.75 oz Alessio Vermouth Chinato
1 orange slice (for shaker)
Shake wet and dry ingredients with ice, garnish with fresh half slice of orange. — This Martinez riff recipe seems to appear first in Straub and from thence to JM 1916. It also appears in the Savoy Cocktail Book of 1930, where this interesting note is given:
We may therefore postulate that it has a common source prior to Straub. I add a fresh orange slice garnish to distinguish the drink visually from the traditional Martini, etc., and to indicate that a slice was used in the shaking.
