Review

Spirits-forward, with a trio of spirits, and vermouth as befits the Martini name. Apple notes are well integrated rather than in your face.

Very, very nice apple martini, with a good roundedness.

It's a completely different cocktail with dry vermouth—that's why you found it "spiritous and super dry." I'd love to hear what you think if you have the opportunity to try it again with bianco vermouth.
