Made with equal parts gin, rosso vermouth and dry vermouth the result is almost sherry-like and suits the aperitivo moment. However, if you want that spirituous...
Whilst I am a HUGE fan of filthy/dry/vodka martinis and lately gibsons, sometimes, I fancy something a tad sweeter and less like rocket fuel ...and this fits the bill perfectly plus it´s a doddle to make. Thank you Mr Difford.
Thanks to the comments on this page, I have just revisited the Perfect Martini, and as you say, it's a tad sweeter and easier. And delicious. Thank you!
Big +1 to this! The "sherry-like" description is fitting. A nice take on a martini to mix it up for someone like me who usually prefers them nice and dry.
