The pistachio Martini, often found in Boston's North End bars, claims diverse origins, with local establishments fiercely debating who truly invented this sweet dessert cocktail.
Owner Adriana De Stefano of Caffè Paradiso claims she invented the pistachio Martini over a decade ago. Her unique touch is serving the drink with a scoop of gelato.
Phil Frattaroli of Ristorante Lucia argues that they’ve been serving their version since the '80s, demonstrating the drink's contested legacy in the North End.
Phillip Rolfe notes that the proliferation of pistachio Martinis in the North End coincides with local bars relying on cordial licenses, making flavored vodkas more prevalent.
