How to make:
STIR all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.
2 fl oz | Hayman's London Dry Gin |
1 fl oz | Strucchi Dry Vermouth |
1/6 fl oz | Sugar syrup 'rich' (2 sugar to 1 water, 65.0°Brix) |
Review:
The classic gin and vermouth Dry Martini made not so dry and a tad more approachable by a splash of sugar.
Variant:
Use pomegranate/grenadine syrup in place of sugar and you have a Red Livingstone, named after London's 'lefty' ex-mayor, Ken.
History:
This vintage cocktail is named after Doctor Livingstone, the famous African missionary.
