Another new one on me, although I see it's a martini so won't be for me.
Favourite cocktail?

On the Isle of Arran last year I had the local pre-dinner speciality cocktail. Absolutely devastating:
One measure of bacardi
One measure of vodka
One measure of cointreau
One 330ml can of Irn Bru
Plenty of ice

Old fashioned to sip, a zombie for effect 
Where are you going wrong when you make them? They're one of the most basic ones to make at home so should be fairly easy. Do you have cachaça, and a mudler?
There's not many cocktails I don't like, am partial to a Caipirinha mind. I can't manage to make them properly at home though, have nearly drunk myself to death trying

Brazil is the only place I've had one's that are really good, tried them in other places and they're just not right, it's obviously because everywhere but Brazil uses a sensible amount of Cachaça :p

The Artisan do do a good Old Fashioned and they also do a rum based one that's quite close to an OF but I can't remember the name of it. They also have a very persuasive barmaid who gets you to buy more of what you're drinking.

This drink was recommended to me by a spanish barman as a hangover cure!
