Bone dry - I prefer with the addition of half spoon sugar syrup.

Loved it. It is nicely dry and perfect with hors d'oeuvres. Did use the bitters. This cocktail has wonderful herbal hints from the ingredients with a hint of citrus.

Why don't you dry shake this cocktail?

Indeed better if shaken. I've amended accordingly. Many thanks for bringing to my attention.
