Ford

Ford is an old American cocktail that is sometimes called a Martini with a herbal twist. It consists of Bénédictine (French herbal liqueur), dry vermouth, Tom Gin (slightly lighter and sweeter style), and bitters. To make the cocktail, all the ingredients are stirred in a mixing glass with ice.

The combination is then strained into a glass. This cocktail is served in a coupe glass and comes garnished with an orange twist. The first mention of the cocktail is found in George Kappeler's Modern American Drinks, published in 1895. Though many believe it was named after Henry Ford, the cocktail predates the legendary company, and it is not known who was used as an inspiration.
