Review:

To say this nameless cocktail is "spirit-led" is an understatement but, as with a Martini, achieve a sufficiently cold serving temperature and you'll enjoy vodka with orange and delicate herbal nuances.

Didn’t have decent ice, but this definitely has potential, and could be just the thing, eg for those who like booze but not gin. I went with a couple of dashes of absinthe for the liqueur and it was very nice 😊

I was really hoping this would suck. But if some company bottled a vodka that tasted like this, it would be my house vodka... I'm testing drinks while finishing off a bottle of Callieres triple sec, but I'm not wasting one drop of my Chartreuse verte on this, so I went with Dolin Genepy... Like Alexandre said - unexpectedly good.

Unexpectingly good, Cointreau Gives a lot of relief to the Vodka

Such a pleasant drink. Satisfying with a breezy coolness. A perfect drink for a sunny winter day. I love the way GC hits from behind. Perfect.

This is a very pleasant drink. The Cointreau does a nice job of taking the edge off the Vodka. I didn't have an orange to zest so I added a drop of orange bitters but for me this was not an improvement. Might try this again with orange flavored Vodka.

I liked this drink. It is, slightly for me, sweeter than I was expecting. Nice spice and orange notes.

OK, after writing the above. We decided to add some orange bitters to see the difference. I would say 3 - 4 drops per drink. It did enhance the spice tones and upped the orange.

Disappointing
