Simple & Elegant Martini
Just as the name promises. It's the Creole bitters that distinguish this Five to One Dry Martini apart

It's not bad, but I can't appreciate the peychaud bitters (I added 2 dashes).

Made this again. It is one of my favourite martini variations next to the Vesper. Again used a bit more Peychaund bitters and a spritz of Absinthe. Wonderful.

Made the cocktail as described and found the bitters needed upping. Added another dash and the bitters really shone through the cocktail. Since the Peychaud's bitters are from New Orleans, added a spritz of Absinthe on the top. Absinthe did not overpower the cocktail, my initial concern, put pull the herbal flavours out of the gin and bitters. Revised version on my favourites.

Peychaud's imparts the nice pink color but nothing else, that I could perceive. Maybe other drinkers will tell the difference, but for me it was just another nice 5:1 dry martini with a slightly different color.

Perfect texture (with Tanq 10 and vodka straight from the freezer) and the Peychauds adds a lovely colour and flavour that pushes it to exceptional

Not unpleasant, just underwhelming. Next time (there will be a next time) I shall skip the vodka, temper the vermouth and up the Peychaud. If that doesn't save it, nothing will.

My theory held. Basically a pink martini but none the worse for that.
