Very nice and savoury. The Italicus adds interest but doesn’t overpower.

I used the last of my Monkey 47 for this, and added some olive bitters in lieu of the garnish. What a great dry martini

We love Italicus and sherry in our cocktails and so were sorely tempted to up the voices of both in this one. Thankfully we resisted the temptation...the measures, as specified, are perfect.
