Sweet white vermouth and generous maraschino liqueur mellow the usual Tuxedo bone dryness while also adding aroma and flavour.

Comments & Discussion
I used Junipero gin, Contratto Vermouth Bianco, Luxardo, and Kübler Absinthe to line the chilled coupe before pitching the excess. Orange bitters and expressed orange peel with Amarena cherry to flourish!
I like absinthe so I don’t rinse and discard. The full 1/12 oz goes in the mixing glass.
The Botanist gin, Dolin blanc vermouth, La Clandestine absinthe
I knocked the whole back by a third due to the rather generous size of the serve!
