The Spirits #103: The Martinez

~ Same As Manhattan Only You Substitute Gin for Whiskey ~ The Smell of Maraschino in the Morning ~ My Near-Namesake ~

~ THE MARTINEZ ~

50ml Italian vermouth
25ml gin
5-10ml maraschino
Dash Angostura bitters

Freeze a coupe. Place all the ingredients in your mixing vessel, fill halfway with ice, and patiently stir for for 20 seconds. Strain into the coupe and garnish with a maraschino cherry. You might spritz a bit of lemon peel over it too, before discarding.
