A boozy brandy-influenced 'wet' and 'sweet' Martini with a hint of orange. The zesty orange notes help the cleansing attributes of this spirit-forward...
I actually prefer this to the Martinez, which it closely resembles. The cognac adds just the right amount of dryness. I used a local barrel rested gin in place of Old Tom, and Carpano Antica, which played nicely with the gin's spiciness.
