Cherry Martini
Rich cherry is balanced by botanically complex dry gin and citrus freshness, and further dried and deepened by vermouth

Using the exact measurements given, same gin and Martini Extra Dry, I tried this first with Polish Krupnik Wiśnia - result - a traditional martini experience with a little cherry influence - dry and sophisticated; 2nd time with Cherry Heering - a velvety, darker-hued, overtly cherry drink with the orange bitters, apparently, shining through more directly. Either way, an excellent cocktail.
