My wife does not like sweet cocktails, so this is perfect. Apart from the fact she is Dutch!

predictably dry, so make sure that's what you want before drinking this cocktail

Agreed. Too dry! I've swapped out dry vermouth for bianco vermouth and slightly tweaked the recipe. Many thanks for the feedback.
