This drink must live or die depending on the use and/or quality of the garnish. Where does one procure a pickled f'n walnut?! It's existence is news to me... Cocchi di Torino and a generic VSOP Cognac at these specs resulted in boredom.

The photo of the drink baffles me. What's up with the apparent foam top and the ebony Pacman fruitlessly trying to bite through the glass to get a sip?

Foam baffles me too. I've added to my list of cocktails to reshoot.

Numerous brands of jarred picked walnuts are available. e.g. Opies via Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Opies-Pickled-Walnuts/dp/B00KM5673W

Absolute disappointment. Couldn't even taste any vermouth. Need a vermouth and soda now.

This dates back much earlier than Trader Vic: it is included in both MacElhone books (ABC of Mixing Cocktails and Barflies & Cocktails), Savoy Cocktail Book, and Boothby’s 1934 edition of World Drinks and How to Mix Them.
