Yummy, a martini fit for a Queen !! I used Dolin vermouths because that's what I had, along with Dole Lite Pineapple Juice to cut the carbs. The Hayman's Gin is key: I unfortunately ran out of Haymans after the first round, and was unhappy with both Plymouth or T10 as a substitute (but I did find the T10 + 1 tsp simple syrup and a dash of salt made it close to the original using Haymans). A keeper!!

Very pleasant. Like the hint on pineapple. Adds a touch of sweetness, but not too much. All the ingredients work well together in this cocktail.

Traditionally it should but I prefer with a bit less dry vermouth. I've added a note above to make this clearer. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
