I think probably my zest wasn't very zesty/oily. I did think the grenadine overpowered even with 2 zests, so added a slice, which helped a bit. I wonder about trying next time with less grenadine... would that work?

Absolutely delicious - now my favourite martini (and the one sip martini is not usually enough - it is so moreish). I'm so glad to have been introduced via this cocktail to the Abrato which sings along so well with the fino and that last lovely touch of stuffed olive (stuffing the olives beforehand wets the palate in anticipation!)

Thanks for your reply... the link as I see it is still to the (as you say equally impressive) celery gin. There's nothing else for it, I'll have to try it with both as well as giving the olive bitters a try!
