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

Not a patch on the Genever/Curacao variant in my opinion, this one is too sweet. If you're really keen on OT gin, dial down or omit the Maraschino altogether.
