Very nice! I feel like I'm getting the right amount of duck from it. Used 20mL Punt e Mes in place of the vermouth, Evan Williams BiB, and Old Forester 100 proof rye.

Point of clarification: it should read 3 drops saline rather than 3 dashes, correct? If not, I woefully under-salted.

Many thanks for bringing to my attention, Malcolm. I've corrected to 3 drops of saline.
