I tried the above version and a second version with Luxardo Bitter Bianco instead of dry vermouth. The original was somewhat tepid, as already mentioned here, but with the Bitter Bianco it was quite interesting. I will try 1 oz Bitter Bianco instead of 1.5 oz the next time...

It's uh, fine? It reminds me of a very inoffensive rose wine, and by inoffensive I mean it's cowering in the corner because someone made eye contact.
