Tuxedo No. 2 (Flora Bar's recipe)

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

The Difford review above is spot on: Bone dry with cherry aromatics are followed by sweetness and spice. A wonderful drink when looking for more complexity than a martini.

Not sure why it has taken so long for me to try this, but I agree - and ideal if one finds oneself in the (unusual) situation of Bianco vermouth open, but no dry.

I think you have it, Geoff. A dry martini can be a bit brutal and hairy chested (don't get me wrong, I do love a martini!) - this is every bit as intoxicating, but there's rather more going on - very nice indeed.
