I don’t love it, but that’s just my preference.

Im not a fan either but if you're willing to try, the Anders Erickson version from his 04 April 25 video which includes celery bitters and a sherry rinse is very good

I so wanted to like this and after the first sips I surprised myself and thought I would. As I continued to drink though, I liked it less and less to the point that I really didn't enjoy it at all. For reference, I used Botanist Gin and glass out of the freezer and the vermouth and olives out of the fridge. Olives and brine were Jacky Rudy Vermouth brined olives and the final serving temperature was -7°C. I loved the olive, but as for a martini, I revert back to my current fave, the "Dry Martini (7:1 ratio) Embury's.

This is an amazing martini. Took some time to find a store locally that sold the Olive Bitters. Did find and we tried the martini both with and without the olive garnish.
Like using the Difford's Margarita and Daiquiri bitters, the Olive Bitters brings the cocktail to a level higher. There is a slight olive and garlic hints, but does not overpower the cocktail.
Will definitely be trying other martini recipes and add the Olive Bitters.

Thanks for your reply... the link as I see it is still to the (as you say equally impressive) celery gin. There's nothing else for it, I'll have to try it with both as well as giving the olive bitters a try!

Hi Alistair. That suggests you have selected Celery gin as one of your ingredients so our system has replaced this as the gin you see. If helpful, by the end of next week we will be selling Rutte Dry Gin directly ourselves for delivery in the UK.

the recipe calls for celery gin but the purchase link is the dry - which one is the error please?

This recipe calls for Rutte Dry Gin and correctly links to dry gin. Rutte also makes a very tasty Rutte Celery Gin and this recipe would taste great using this.
