Review

A savoury, relatively low-alcohol alternative to a Martini for an aperitivo. (Please don't shake this cocktail, as it breaks it.)

A cocktail for the “strange but good” file - love a savoury cocktail like this. I was greedy and doubled everything because I wanted more than a bite-sized drink. For my fellow coriander-haters, I recommend celery bitters as a good substitute. Also because I am very literal, I cued up “Hang on Little Tomato” by Pink Martini while I was mixing it, and I think this should be part of the recipe.

"Muddle tomato"? There's no tomato in the ingredients proper, is this an artifact from an update script? Or should I be squishing?

Thanks for pointing out, Toby. I've added a cherry tomato as the first ingredient.
