I did not have the amber vermouth so I substituted Lillet Blanc. It was quite tasty.

Just made this cocktail twice - once with Dolin Dry and once with Martini & Rossi Ambrato. There is an ENORMOUS difference in favor of the (slightly) sweeter amber vermouth. I'm not sure from where the suggestion to switch to a dry vermouth came, but it's a mistake in my opinion. With the Ambrato this is, indeed, an amber Martini with a subtle sweetness and lovely finish. I used Tanqueray, Angostura Orange bitters and the aforementioned M&R along with the St. Germain.

Hi Joe. I agree. I've reverted back to ambrato vermouth.

Effortlessly elegant! I did it with a small batch gin from Silver Circle distillery in the Wye Valley. Instantly became a favourite.

It turns out that elderflower is a botanical used in this gin from Silver Circle.

Used a cucumber flavored gin and it was great. With a Montréal elderflower liqueur (Rosemont distillerie) that i recommand.

A rich and richly flavoured martini. Perfect sweet sour balance for me. The elderflower adds lovely subtle sweet and floral characters, and a certain ‘juiciness’. Very tasty.

I found a bottle of Old Tom gin in my cabinet, actually a Norwegian " Golden Cock Gin".
That did the trick.
I think managed to make a well tasting wet-ish martini.

Just wandering if old tom is ok! Maybe next time because i used a fresh style gin (cucumber flavored) it was lovely.

Beefeaters | Pergote | St. Germaine | Ango_______really delicious stuff, martinis are usually too dry to be enjoyable for me. i measured by my digital scale so i know i put about 15% too much elderflower and i can definitely tell its there, i will be more accurate next time and see if its still delicious, but i am enjoying this

made another one with tangueray. got the ratios correct. dont like it as much. not sure if its the higher abv, or less sweetness from the elderflower, but the first one was better

I upped the gin to 2 oz, with 1/2 oz Vermouth, 1/2 oz St Germain, 2 dashes orange bitters and it tastes great!

I did the same John. Very nice martini riff, I’m adding this one to my rotation!
