This cocktail is a simple variation of a Martini. The story of how the Bronx was created has been questioned throughout the years, but it's generally accepted that Johnnie Solon created it at the Waldorf Astoria sometime shortly after 1900. The remarkable thing is that Solon never touched a drop of liquor, but he had the uncanny ability to create great drinks just the same.
