Review:

As the name suggests, the authentic recipe is just rye whiskey and dry vermouth with a dash of orange bitters. This should perhaps be renamed "Rye & Bone Dry", hence my addition of three-quarters barspoon (3.75ml/ 1/8oz) of sugar syrup. For me, a spoon is too sweet and half a spoon not sweet enough. That's the delight of this Martini-like, rye-based cocktail; like a Martini, you can make it your own.
