Ransom Old Tom more or less completely takes over in this and it's fantastic. Quite a different angle compared to my (until now?!) preferred version with the genever and Curacao.

Try this with Boatyard Old Tom Missing Link matured in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks
It’ll blow your mind. If there was a six on the scale it would deserve it.

Didn’t quite work for me. I think the Maraschino put the spoke
in the wheel for me. I will try dropping it to 5ml. The idea of chocolate bitters sounds interesting.

This remains my favorite Martinez variation, though I use chocolate bitters in place of Angostura bitters. The chocolate and cherry really sing. Give it a try!

One of those "eh" drinks for me, neither bad nor great, definitely drinkable, but I won't be in a rush to make it again. Made with Hayman's Old Tom and Dolin vermouth. I might try the simplified version to see how it compares.

Great after dinner cocktail! I also added orange bitters which mellowed the maraschino liqueur. Balanced and tasty!

Used 2nd recipe with OT gin from Tonik Distillery, Cocchi Torino for sweet vermouth, Luxardo's Marascino (unfortunately, there's nothing better available for purchase where I am) & Bittercube's Trinity bitters.
Nicely balanced albeit boozy. Right up my alley! :)

Decided to make this with Inverroche Amber Gin. Fantastic!
