this probably requires an ultra chilled glass, the first few sips were fantastic but I thought it got a bit too lemon-y after that, which I'm attributing to the temperature

A nice Martini version with the Limoncello aftertaste.
Not going to win awards but enjoyable as a first drink to clean off the taste buds.

Really enjoyed this Martini riff. A nice, dry cocktail, with a great subtle lemon finish. Will have to add it to the rotation.

As a cautionary tale I share the sorry fact that I initially made this with Finnish Arctic Blue gin as we didn't have any London dry in the cupboard. I can attest that the recipe says "London dry" for a reason as Finnish Bilberries just do not marry well with Limoncello. On a happier note we have since made this with Tanqueray and what a difference that made! All up a nice riff on a dry Martini and something I will return to from time to time.

Simon, I made this with the above recipe, which was sweet. I then read David's comments on the other drink in which he said he reversed the measures of the vermouth and limoncello. It's a different drink, and better.
