Better with a dash of simple syrup.

After 27 years, I've just revisited this recipe, adding dry vermouth to help balance and structure.

And I commend you for that! We now have a delightfully fruity Martini that has a lot more substance.

I can see myself sipping this throughout Christmas season whenever I would usually have had vodka with cranberry juice. Brings the whole thing to a new level 👌

Tastes like the cough medicine of you dreams (I realise that that doesn't sound like a complement but it really is)

A bit non-descript.
not a go to cocktail for sure
