Review:

A Dry Martini with a freshening zesty lemon burst, courtesy of limoncello. Don't let the generous splash of limoncello deceive you into thinking this is a sweet cocktail. It is surprisingly dry with the spirituous bite of a proper Martini.

A nice Martini version with the Limoncello aftertaste.
Not going to win awards but enjoyable as a first drink to clean off the taste buds.

Really enjoyed this Martini riff. A nice, dry cocktail, with a great subtle lemon finish. Will have to add it to the rotation.

As a cautionary tale I share the sorry fact that I initially made this with Finnish Arctic Blue gin as we didn't have any London dry in the cupboard. I can attest that the recipe says "London dry" for a reason as Finnish Bilberries just do not marry well with Limoncello. On a happier note we have since made this with Tanqueray and what a difference that made! All up a nice riff on a dry Martini and something I will return to from time to time.

Yes, we prefer Bombay for this instead of some of the fancier gins that we use for martinis.

Simon, I made this with the above recipe, which was sweet. I then read David's comments on the other drink in which he said he reversed the measures of the vermouth and limoncello. It's a different drink, and better.
