Review

Go easy on the bitters, and this is a complex and rewarding Martini-style cocktail.

Vodka fans should definitely try this - it is a like a sweet "perfect Kangaroo/Vodkatini". I'm not a vodka fan, and I find the vodka notes unpleasant, so this won't be one I'll make again - but I'm sure there are cocktail fans that will love it's clean look and sweetness.
