Martinez (with Old Tom gin)
Use an authentic-tasting distilled old tom gin that's balanced rather than overly sweet, and you'll have a fabulous cocktail

Hoo boy, this was certainly a trip. I used Hernös Old Tom, and Casa Mariol for the red vermouth, and what I got was a flavour explosion. The front is juniper forward, carried by the Maraschino, which is then taken over by bitters and vermouth. On the finish you get almost a gingerbread character to it. All this while always being balanced. Definitely a recommendation!
