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.

Not particularly interesting but drinkable. A bit more lemon juice may improve it. Celeste called it "boozy".
