Review:

A genever (hence "Dutchman")-based Monte Cassino. Even with the genever at twice the proportion of rye whiskey in the equal parts Monte Cassino, the genever is overpowered by the other three ingredients in this very pleasant cocktail.

Didn’t have Genever, so used Ford’s gin. Wonderful like this, so I’ll be curious to try it with the original specs.

Chocolate Martini

As the name suggests, a chocolate-flavoured Martini. The bready notes in the genever help amplify cacao notes
