Made with Dancing Sands Distillery Dry Gin. Sublime.

I did 3/4oz dolin dry and 1/3oz Benedictine, and added lemon bitters and rosemary tincture so not quite the same drink, but pretty fantastic nonetheless

Had a 5:1 martini, and then this. It's quite the opposite, rather boldly flavourful than subtle. Most refreshing use of benedictine i've ever had the pleasure of trying. I think i have found a new favourite martini
