There are 1,000s of cocktails with Martini in their name on Difford's Guide, and the majority are not actually true Martinis, at least going by the Oxford

Little Rebel

A brandy and scotch whisky sour with grenadine fruitiness. I like to cut the grenadine with sugar syrup to rein in the fruitiness and, while doing so,
