An equal parts (Fifty-Fifty) Dry Martini with a hint of orange due to the use of orange curaçao, orange bitters and an orange zest twist

I upped the orange curaçao slightly, which brings something out nicely but I can’t describe what it is. Used Plymouth gin and Dolin vermouth.

I actually came across it when reading the 1898 book: Cocktails, How to Make them.
The recipe predates Harry Johnson's and it basically consists of equal parts Plymouth Gin and Dry Vermouth, no modifier or bitters.
Olive Garnish.
I personally find the anisette version to be by far the most interesting, as often the case with Harry Johnson's versions, however,it is interesting to see how the cocktail changed through the years.

Many thanks for sharing with us all, Claudio. I have amended the history above accordingly to reference 'Cocktails... How to Mix Them'.

Wonderfully dry. The hint of orange work perfectly with the herbals of the gin. Have put it into my favourites. Great before dinner with some cheese, olives, and vegetables.

I’m adding it to my rotation.
