The aromas alone are ridiculously good

I used a Ferdinands Dry Vermuth and Tanquaray 10 and found it too sweet. I added a dash of supasawa to keep a clear drink. Was quite nice but will not be my favourite.

This might seem like a weird suggestion, however! Hear me out.
I made a version with Nolie prat, and Citadel gin, and after having forced a few friends to try it. I found, that adding a few,(read 2-3) drops of simple sirup, massively improved the drink. It appears to open up and almost have a floral after taste, somewhat akin to a good Alsace Gewürztraminer

Noilly Prat is particularly dry vermouth so a few drops of sugar syrup sounds like a good idea to add balance. Indeed, your recipe sounds delicious.

Thanks for the reply Simon. The question mark was a mistype, it should be an exclamation! (This time I got it)

Tis indeed a tasty cocktail! Just been making it again and have tweaked the recipe to be a tad closer to the original equal parts recipe. I've also omitted orange bitters but the lemon zest twist becomes crucial to the balance and aromatics.

Great cocktail? For my taste a tiny little bit too much Noilly Prat. Next time I will try reducing it to 2,25 cl.

I made it with Martini Extra Dry which is not quite as assertive as Noilly Prat. Dolin or Chmberry would also work well.

A good use for that dusty bottle of Benedictine - especially welcome on a sunny day.

Outstanding. Great flavours and balance. Very, very good in the afternoon or as an aperitif. Slight hints of orange and honey.

Used Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin and the barrel-aged orange bitters from Fee Brothers. I guess, I bit overdid the bitters ... Yet, pretty nice drink - I could sip it for hours if it stayed cold enough.

When looking for something more than than just a wet martini, this is a crisp and clean cocktail with honey and lemon notes delivers!

Lovely. Wet martini with a hint of sweeand herbs from the Benedictine. The lemon twist is essential and wonderful.

Very nice. I actually had the exact brand ingredients.

I needed to up the amounts by a third (1.5 ounces of gin) to make a decent serving.

Volume better suits a Nick & Nora glass rather than a coupe. I'll reshoot ASAP. Thanks for bringing to my attention.

martini with hints of an older age. Great with a tie.

quite lovely, but stir long enough; you want this one to be ice cold
