Tuxedo Cocktail

A sophisticated pre-Prohibition era classic that serves as an elegant variation on the Martini. This cocktail balances equal parts gin and dry vermouth, accented with the nuttiness of maraschino liqueur, the herbal notes of anise, and a hint of orange bitters for a complex, aromatic finish.
