I came across this recipe, and it's the same as my personal martini recipe, except that I use a different dry vermouth and I make a smaller 45 ml/22.5 ml cocktail. Grapefruit bitters make a huge difference in this drink. I've used orange bitters, of course, and I've tried lemon bitters, but grapefruit bitters provide a much smoother, more drinkable result.

My kind of martini. Enjoyed it very much.

Refreshing with the subtle tang of gragefruit adding an exciting and original dimension to a wet Martini. In the absence of Rutte, I used Plymouth Gin which seems to work well in Martinis, as an alternative.

Excellent martini. The grapefruit bitters add an interesting touch. Wet, but the flavour of the gin shines. Love it.
