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.

Tried Punt e Mes in place of Cardamaro. I've never tried the latter but the result didn't seem to hit the spot. Not bad but not remarkable.
Go on, what's the worst that can happen? 😈
First time I've had my French marked in 45 years but fair enough. With these proportions you can't sub the Byrrh and expect the same result. Go on, treat yourself!
Combo of campari and violette delivers a challenging taste; rather unique and intriguing, and quite delicious if you like these ingredients.
