It started with a Martini. Not a very good Martini, but back then I knew no better. Some years later I misunderstood a doctor's advice to avoid beer as an instruction to drink more cocktails... at least, that's my story.
I suspect my story will also end with a Martini, but that one will be spectacular.

Safe. Do it.
Diluted the peaty with some blended as I couldn't see the need. So far (2 down) so good.
Reduced the gin dilution to 15ml (maybe) of vermouth but still really really impressed by this - basically - slightly orangey martini.
Just lowered my rating by half a mark, as I found it too sweet. All the right ingredients, just the wrong proportions - investigation required.
