I personally prefer it with Orange Curaçao instead of Triple Sec.
Anyway, it's an easy and very good cocktail.

Wow! Almost in comparison with the classic cocktail. Used 1cl Triple Sec and 3cl Vermouth, as my jigger don't take .25-sizes. It turned out wonderful!

Sipped whilst reading his obituary. An excellent drink. Perfectly balanced sweet and bitter orange flavours but still a martini.

I went 1/2 oz (15 ml) on the triple sec and vermouth and it was delightful! Like Anne below, I had a clementine twist instead of grapefruit.

Delicious and easy to make! This will go into our rotation for sure. Made exactly as described.

This is a delicious drink. Why have I never tried this before? I increased the gin-to-vermouth ratio ever so slightly, to come closer to the dryness of a 5 to 1 regular martini. Lovely with a twist of clementine.

Delicious. I put in 10ml Cointreau. Strong, punchy martini with a lovely orange twist.
