As has been commented on the Queen's Jubilee Martini (Difford's version of this cocktail but with an olive garnish), I believeI as nice as this cocktail is, it would benefit from upping the gin. Next iteration will go with 1.5 oz gin. Also for me, I prefer the lemon garnish as opposed to an olive.

This cocktail is the same as the Queen's Jubilee Martini, besides the queen olive is switched for a lemon zest twist...

A likeness I handn't spotted. I've added links between the two cocktails.
