Might be better if you agree vodka has no place in a Martini. Lucky for you all, I tried it with 60 ml of gin (Gordon's, so not great) and I'd opt to maybe do a 50:50 vodka:gin... I did, however, then try this with 60 ml of Junipero Gin, and it's better, but I'm still contemplating a blend, only to knock down the intense herbal notes of the Junipero and Noilly Prat dry... Why is the Martini so bland yet so fascinating? (6 Oct 2022, 3:36p)
It is very boozy. It is very good. First sip took me by surprise as I did not expect the strong tastes and that the blue Curacao keeps it very dry. Will keep for aperitif rotation for sure.
