Oh nice! My variant used Jose Cuervo Especial Silver Tequila (not quite as tasty neat as Rooster Rojo so I thought ideal for this), Martini blanco and Australian Bitters Company Aromatic Bitters (the only bitters I have). The combination works very nicely - silver tequila dominates (not a bad thing!) with the vermouth and bitters adding spicy complexity. No lemon twist (although I could and maybe should have to reduce waste...) this really demonstrates how tequilla can substitute/rival/surpass gin in cocktails! And I love gin (juniper!!!)

I can say that a few drops of lime juice really clean up an unorganized sweet palate.

This is exceptionally good. I got a bit mixed up and used lemon (discarded) and grapefruit (included) twists but it works very well. Delicious

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.
