Bloomsbury Martini
This pinky/rusty drink benefits from a good long stir but the result is an aromatic, medium dry, spicy vanilla Martini

Right now I’m using Bombay Dry which has a lower abv than most London Dry gins. I find that increasing the ratio of gin (in this case 3: .5: .5) makes it a little less sweet and to me, more palatable.
