Hmm your cocktails sound wonderful. I have included one of our own favourites here at beefeater. The 24 Martini:

The Tea notes of Beefeater 24 work in harmony with the fruity character of Lillet and the spice from the orange fritters. The grapefruit twist accentuates the grapefruit peel used in the 24.

Glass: Chilled Martini
Garnish: Grapefruit twist
Method: Stir all ingredients until ice cold. Strain into glass & drink immediately.

Ingredients:
60ml Beefeater 24
20ml Lillet
3 dash orange bitters (Regan's No.6)
