Just had this as a perfectly fitting elevenses cocktail. What an amazing drink—both light and complex. I adhered to the specs and used a just-opened bottle of dry vermouth. First, I tried it with approx. 6 ml of sugar syrup, and after a taste, I adjusted it to 7.5 ml. Now, after finishing the drink, I reckon I should have stayed with the 6 ml of syrup. Anyhow, I cannot wait to introduce this cocktail to my friends for a late morning or afternoon gathering.

Love the tweaked (‘improved’?!) version of this recipe. The delicacy of the ingredient balance is simply magical and had to be tasted to be believed. Bring out your daintiest glassware!

As someone who's generally not a huge fan of dry vermouth, this was shockingly tasty. I used the easy jigger to measure ¼cl of Boker's (about 4 dashes by my maths) and I definitely didn't regret it. Indeed surprisingly reminiscent of mulled wine

What a lovely and perfectly delicious cocktail. Slipped down very easily!

Reminiscent of chilled mulled wine. Nice - definitely needs a light touch with simple syrup
