Review:

A stirred four-to-one Martini is indeed a delicious thing. But is a five-to-one Martini even more delicious? Try both, and perhaps also a three-to-one. What a wonderful way to lose an evening.

I swapped out the orange bitters for lemon as I lacked any lemon peel to garnish with, and I honestly think that tweak has made this is my preferred martini in dry/wet ratio. It went down so fast and easy the olive was still crisp!

This is a delightful and perfectly balanced. Not as dry as many other recipes, but wonderfully spirit forward. Would definitely do this one again.
