Martini (Sweet)

2/3 Tom Gin, 1/3 Italian Vermouth, 2 dashes Gum Syrup, 1 dash Orange Bitters. Stir well with ice, strain and serve with a cherry.
Union League Cocktail
Celeste made a cocktail very similar to the above recipe (pictured) and called it a Union League. But we both think, without verifying on the Cocktail DB, that that cocktail is made with port. The cocktail she made contained 2/3 Tom Gin, 1/3 Italian Vermouth, a splash Blood Orange Bitters and an orange slice. It is very good and sweet but not heavy.

Lone Tree Cocktail

1/3 Italian Vermouth, 1/3 French Vermouth, 1/3 Dry Gin, 2 Dashes Orange Bitters. Stir well with cracked ice and strain. Add a cherry. Similar to Cooperstown Cocktail. Light and sweet with plenty of aroma, also a good-looking drink.

Old Etonian Cocktail

2 dashes Orange Bitters, 2 dashes Crème de Noyau, 1/2 London Gin, 1/2 Kina Lillet. Stir well in ice and strain. Squeeze Orange Peel on top.
Old Etonian Cocktail

Made exactly as the Fairbanks No. 2 Cocktail, except with Lillet instead of dry vermouth. Celeste preferred it to the Fairbanks.

Fairbanks No. 2 Cocktail

2 dashes Crème de Noyau, 2 dashes Orange Bitters, 1/3 French Vermouth, 2/3 Dry Gin. Stir well in ice and strain. Add a cherry.

Fairbanks No. 2

The cousin of the Old Etonian Cocktail, with French Vermouth instead of Lillet. I did not taste this one, but Celeste did. She preferred the Old Etonian and the sweeter taste of the Lillet.
