Head to head
Martinez and Tuxedo side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have Maraschino liqueur and orange bitters. Only the Martinez has gin and sweet vermouth; only the Tuxedo has Old Tom gin, dry vermouth and absinthe. In parts, a Martinez is 1 gin and 1 vermouth; a Tuxedo is 1 gin and 1 vermouth. By volume, the Martinez is 48% spirit, 47% fortified wine and bitter and 5% liqueur; the Tuxedo is 49% fortified wine and bitter, 47% spirit and 4% liqueur. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Tuxedo is the stronger drink in the glass (20.7% ABV against 19.7%), but the Martinez is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (1.55 standard drinks against 1.12). The Martinez has more calories (about 184 against 116) and more sugar (8.0 g against 1.5 g). Both are stirred; the Martinez is served in a coupe, the Tuxedo in a martini glass.
