Review:

I've tried shaking this cocktail as originally called for and stirring it with various proportions of dry and bianco vermouth. However, it's best when stirred to the original recipe (45ml blanco tequila, 30ml dry vermouth, 10ml Campari) when first served, but as it warms, this Dry Martini-like cocktail benefits from the rounding notes of a bianco vermouth.

Top notch tequila martini variation. Definitely going on my Friday night rotation. Used Campari instead of Strucchi red bitters and would be interested to know if the Strucchi ingredient is an Improvement.

I normally love campari but it was a bit jarring here, was drinking it thinking I'd just prefer a tequila martini. The blanco vermouth addition to the original recipe does seem bang on, it just such a good compliment to the tequila.
