Tuxedo
Did I mention this drink is dry? Good lord, it's nothing less than arid—your typical dry martini is positively flamboyant next to a cocktail as reserved as the Tuxedo. But don't take this dryness as a sign that it's boring; rather, the sherry brings a touch of its distinctive nuttiness to the drink, which puts a new spring in the gin's step and makes this relative of the classic martini a worthwhile variation.
Date Martinez
A rich, layered twist on a classic cocktail.
Martinez Cocktail
The Martinez starts with equal parts gin and sweet vermouth, and this alone distinguishes it from the modern martini. You then add a teaspoon of maraschino liqueur and either Angostura or orange bitters.
Classic Martini Cocktail
A straightforward martini recipe, which is a lot more flexible than you might think.
White Lady
The sharp bites of gin and lemon are beautifully tempered by Cointreau in this classic sour.
Dirty, Sopping-Wet Martini
In this extra-dirty take on the classic martini, we combine equal parts gin and dry vermouth with a generous pour of olive brine. It makes for a mellower cocktail with a salty-smooth and crisp finish.
Sherry Cobbler
Let's start the weekend right--with a cocktail recipe from Paul Clarke (The Cocktail Chronicles). Need more than one? Hit up the archives. Cheers! Things usually slow down during late summer. It seems like everyone's on vacation--at least mentally, if not...
Sparkling Apple Sherry Cocktail
Juicy apples meet bubbly prosecco, rich sherry, and sweet orange liqueur in this fall cocktail.
Improved Gin Cocktail
Genever and Cointreau: odd, but oh-so-compelling.
Vermouth Cocktail
The Vermouth Cocktail illustrates the flavorful beauty of good vermouth, with just a little adornment. If you're prone to dismiss this drink out of hand because it's based on vermouth, then you're denying yourself the opportunity to see what the original fuss from the nineteenth century was all about.

Sherry Martini

Pair gin with vermouth and you get botanicals on top of botanicals. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but bring sherry into the mix and you'll find something both more smooth and electrifying, with hints of marcona almonds and a wonderful savory bite.
