We go with two drops of margarita bitters and two drops of lavender bitters...very nice.

I used G4 High Proof, Contratto Bianco, orange bitters, and lemon twist. Changed the ratio to 3:1. It was quite good, but can't top a gin martini.

Editorial note: we think the "How to make" should read "...into ice-chilled glass.", not "...ice-filled". This is one of two recipes that has persuaded us that the Martini can indeed be a great cocktail.

Been playing with this one for a few months now. RT below hits the nail on the head; the tequila will dictate the outcome. Use Siete Leguas, Lalo or an equivalent. Try a Reposado. I have found the Italian Martini & Rossi to be the best match (over Dolin, my fav gin vermouth) but dial it down to 3:1. Bitters optional, but absolutely worth playing with. Orange, lemon or grapefruit are all good choices. This is absolutely the best summertime, pool-side Martini I've ever had (I've had a few).

Made with Altos Plato and Martini Bianco, was easy drinking but nothing special.

The impression this makes will vary enormously depending on the tequila used. With tequila Ocho it was sublime, with Sauza "Hornitos" it was good but not exciting. I recommend Dolin Blanc, as I don't think tequila stands up to the funkier Italian biancos. It's the same story with gin martinis.

Loved this - I made it with Boker's Bitters in the absence of Margarita Bitters, which worked just finr. A word of warning - strain it into an ice-filled standard coupe as advised and it wont fit! I just slurped and topped it up - all good.

First taste was amazing but the more I drunk the more the taste of Cinzano Bianco overwhelmed the tequila. Ultimately a disappointment.
