Martinez

Not quite a Manhattan and not quite a Martini, the Martinez uses "Old Tom," a slightly sweeter version of gin that debuted in the mid-1800s. For the authentic taste, ask for it by name.

- 1.5 oz Old Tom gin

- 1.5 oz sweet vermouth

- .25 oz Luxardo maraschino liqueur

- 2 dashes Angostura or orange bitters

Stir ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Strain into chilled martini glass or cocktail coupe.
