Adapted from Jason E. Clapham's excellent Beauchamp, which is based on high-strength London Dry gin (Beefeater Crown Jewel). I've used a split base of gins to introduce old tom gin's amplified botanicals.

A spiced martini! No cardamom bitters so added 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom to the mixing glass. Could even halves it next time, though it sat prettily at the bottom of the glass. Meyer lemon worked well as garnish, picking up the triple sec. Improved as it warmed a little and all the herbals emerged, particularly the old Tom.

Yeah this is seriously good! Used a 1/8 teaspoon measure and roughly half filled it, adding directly to the other ingredients, and it balanced nicely.

I love how this cocktail presents itself initially as a richer dry martini, then the sweeter orange and herbal liqueur flavours progressively bloom on the palate. Top stuff!
