For a lovely version with hints of vanilla, add 20 mL Licor 43 tothis recipe. We call it the Señor Martinez.
This remains my favorite Martinez variation, though I use chocolate bitters in place of Angostura bitters. The chocolate and cherry really sing. Give it a try!
For a smoother, more complex take, replace the cognac with Grand Marnier. It’s yummy.
Very good and balanced cocktail, especially when made with quality bourbon and sweet vermouth. Bourbon purists will cringe at mixing their holy water with anything but ice, but this is a great drink to win over those who might find the base spirit a little too overpowering.
