Martinez
Old Tom gin, red vermouth, maraschino, bitters.
The bridge between Manhattan and Martini. Sweet, herbal, with a lot of history in it.
On the sip: sweet, bitter and classic. Goes down easy, no overthinking.
Several historians call it the Martini's direct ancestor: same gin, but sweet vermouth instead of dry, plus maraschino and bitters. The key is Old Tom gin, softer than London Dry. Have it stirred and you'll taste where everything else came from.
