Ice Maiden
A subtle Martini with the honeyed flavours of icewine melding with botanicals in the gin and balanced by the acidity of the white wine

Tried this one a couple of times. You really need a bright, fresh, new world Savvy B (I went for an Awatere Valley from New Zealand) to stand up to the ice wine. Lovely tension between the two wines while the gin plays referee.
