Review

The timing of the monsoon season varies significantly across South Asia, Southeast Asia, North America, and East Asia, but July is a month when all these regions experience heavy rainfall. Hence, perhaps a good time of the year to enjoy this split base 'wet' Martini.

This cocktail was great. Similar to a Vesper in flavour. Did not have the Ginseng bitters so I substituted Fernet (suggestion from the internet) with a drop of orange bitters. Perfect for an aperitivo. Would definitely have again.
Thanks Simon for another winner.
