Had this again after 3 years. Had forgotten what a wonderful martini it is. If you want a well balanced martini which is not dry, this should be one of your choices. Delightful with lots of herbal flavours and a slight sweetness.

This is a great martini. It is not a dry as many of the martinis, but has a great flavour. Great for an aperitif.

I got your book for my boyfriend this Christmas, we are skipping ahead a year for 28 décembre, I hope that is allowed ;D Instead of waiting like good tipplers and waiting to start the book from 1 January. Used literally a drop of oleo saccharum and it's fantastic!
