History
The Double Grape Martini is credited to a British drinks writer, who created it in London in 2004. It builds on his earlier Grape Martini, made the same year, by adding a splash of white wine to the muddled-grape and vodka base, doubling down on the grape theme referenced in its name, which points to the combination of whole grapes and wine made from grapes.
