Delmonico Special
A very wet gin martini dried with a splash of cognac and two dashes of bitters

The version I made straddles the line between digestif and aperitif, also keeping in mind the numerous variations: 15 each of dry and sweet vermouths, 2 dashes Ango, 30 each of gin and brandy with a twist of lemon. I found this from a cocktail video uploaded by Epicurious.

I really like this build/recipe.
Much more balanced than the half-half Cognac & Gin split, and the 0.5 OZ split between sweet and dry vermouth.

This is delightful and perfect for an aperitif. Herbal flavours combined with the cognac allows for a fragrant and dry cocktail. Went perfectly with a strong cheese (we used Red Leicester) and vegetables. On my favourites.

Cheese seems like a very good idea. This one needs exploring further.
