Decent after dinner desert!
Clean, I used 2 1/2 oz vodka.

I've just reformulated and reduced the vodka, and indeed the other ingredients, but I've introduced dry vermouth to bring into the Martini camp. Hopefully now more suited to the after-dinner occasion.

Fun little drink. Tick-tack with some warmth, and without the chemical weirdness.
