This was great. Sort of a gin based mojito. Was a little sweet for my taste would half the sugar syrup next time. Loved the addition of the mint flavour to the herbal flavours from the gin and the slight hint of orange from the bitters. Very good and unique martini.

Now, being a displaced Montana cowboy living in Florida, I had to try this. Forget the bitters! I followed the recipe right up to the optional bitters and simply scrapped a little orange zest on the surface. Wonderful, if I do say so.
