Martinez Cocktail.

(Use small bar-glass.)

  • Take 1 dash of Boker’s bitters.
  • Take 2 dashes of Maraschino.
  • Take 1 pony of Old Tom gin.
  • Take 1 wine-glass of Vermouth.
  • Take 2 small lumps of ice.

Shake up thoroughly, and strain into a large cocktail glass. Put a quarter of a slice of lemon in the glass, and serve. If the guest prefers it very sweet, add two dashes of gum syrup.
