Pretty good in general (without being a 5* top drawer go-to), but I have to agree with the popular voice - stirred is better than shaken.

It's good but it's not right.

Maybe throw a party and serve Banana Daiquiris and Banana Coladas. That will finish it pretty quickly.

Finish the party or the bottle?

Winner. Very summery.

Amusing hue but unremarkable taste

Tried it once, acceptable. Tried it again after some Lindt black chocolate truffles and it was excellent.

Thanks, Andy. For the benefit of others, I've referenced Black Sabbath above.

✌️

Just came here to commend you for the Sabbath reference. Fortunately I don't have all the ingredients to try it.

Very pleasant, made more enjoyable by how easy it is to remember, and to recite to uneducated barmen.

Quick, easy and dare I say it, possibly better than a regular espresso martini.

Closest Alpine liqueur to hand was suze. Pleasant but not outstanding, and rather too sweet to count as a Martini for my palate. Other genepi liqueurs may give different conclusions- I shall continue the search.

I just concocted something like this, being in a poorly stocked airport departure lounge - only discovered Mr Clapham's version through curiosity. Surprisingly good, especially for the time and place.

Not outstanding but very easy to drink, particularly with the relatively low alcohol.

Orangey. Nothing else notable.

Orangey but indistinguishable.

Pleasant but unremarkable

When shall we three meet again?

Well, for us, even without the froth, this is closer to a Sour than is the irreproachable good lady. We might throw in a bit of egg white next time, just to nudge it even c.oser. The absinthe was certainly up our street.

White Lady is a sour so no argument there. I'm very selective on egg white and I prefer WL without.

Not bad. Also not - in any way - a Negroni. Shame on anyone riding a past-its-date Negroni bandwagon claiming otherwise.

Basically a White Lady with a dash of absinthe. If that's up your street go for it, if not don't waste your time.

Confounded my unsurprisingly low expectations. Not overly sweet, especially for such a generally gooey day.
