Martinez Cocktail - Our all-time favourite Rosso Vermouth cocktail

This warming cocktail is usually made with gin, but I’m crazy about it made with Genever. This is Gary (Gaz) Regan’s recipe from The Joy of Mixology, in which he declares his belief that the Martinez was born of the Manhattan and is the father, or perhaps grandfather, of the dry gin martini. A bona fide classic!
