My exact quote right now: "Ohh! That's alright..." uuuhhhh... Surprisingly, it's not sweet enough.

I feel like I want this to be a Singapore Sling, or at least some sort of variation, but it's short of that... I tried this three different ways, the latter two slicing and splicing the vermouth 1:1 with genepy, one of those with dry vermouth... Genepy did not work at 15 ml... I'll keep hacking away...
