I am a gin drinker, and made this with Citadelle (No Rutte's where I live). Not surprisingly, it is gin-forward, but the Licor 43 lingers pleasantly on the palate. I might try increasing Licor marginally, as the Vermouth does poke its nose in with confidence.

Nice change of pace when I want something not as dry as a martini. Boodles (45.2% abv) is a good gin for this drink (or any other, for that matter).

Great for anyone who, like me, is an occasional drinker of gin. I find the juniper favor of gin a bit too overwhelming. I do think this is a great entry for me to the martini line of cocktails.
