Tuxedo

Description

The Tuxedo is a martini variation with a slightly more mysterious wardrobe. Gin and dry vermouth give it the familiar dry structure, but maraschino liqueur, orange bitters and a hint of absinthe add perfume, sweetness and a faint herbal shadow.

Named for the Tuxedo Park Club in New York, it feels like a drink from a more formal era, but it still has plenty to say. It is elegant, aromatic and quietly complex, especially when served very cold with a restrained garnish.
