The bourbon and rye combo really sets this apart. This is a favourite as I prefer American style whisky as opposed to scotch and therefore understandably that some prefer the Rob Roy. Both are great for all the right reasons
I've shared my thoughts here before, and I still love this recipe. However, I've recently found my go-to dry martini combo that I can't get enough of:
60 ml London Dry Gin (currently using Tanqueray for its versatility)
15 ml Dolin Dry Vermouth
4 green olives on a skewer
I let a few drops of olive juice fall into the glass from the spoon while garnishing. To me, this makes an immaculate martini. I highly recommend trying this 4:1 ratio. Enjoy!
Absolutely a favourite! This is one beautiful tasting cocktail and being in a West Australian summer, the refreshing ingredients and flavours hit it right off. I use fresh squeezed lemon juice and probably like everything else in Australia, it tries to kill you so I back off the lemon juice ratio and up the simple syrup ratio to balance. Jusssssst right! Cheers!
