Balmoral Martini
Successfully float the whisky and the aromatic first sip from this Dry Martini is a delight. I've split the vermouths to add a little bianco richness

Perfect aperitif. The Whisky float helps keep the cocktail wonderfully dry and balances the blanco vermouth.

Made per spec with The Botanist, Carpano Dry, Cinzano Bianco and Monkey Shoulder.
First, I have to congratulate myself on a successful float of the scotch. First time doing it and I got it right. Little victories.
Second, that bar spoon of scotch is very, very subtle. I’m tempted to do it again with .25 oz/7.5 ml of scotch, just so it is a bit more present.
Finally , this ratio of gin to vermouth is near my personal preference, so I really enjoyed this cocktail. Maybe just my imagination, but Botanist just feels right in this cocktail.
Great drink that leaves plenty of room for personal tweaking.
