Just wow! This is really what you want from a cocktail. Everything in perfect balance.

Really features the dry vermouth so make sure you’re using one you like. Used Hayman’s Old Tom and it was just perfect here. The Flora Bar version seemed to work better with Bitter Truth bitters, this one with angostura, tho could be personal preference of course.

Meant to add: succeeds in being fruity AND dry.

Agreed, I preferred Simon’s version with 50/50 dry and Blanc vermouth, which worked better for me.

Very complex drink as all tasting notes from ingredients remain distinctive. Beautiful clear blush color. I am not a fan of vermouth, so I used 15-20% less than recipe calls for.
