It's a sweet martini on the rocks; mystery solved. If thats your thing you won't be disappointed.
Nicely spicy, good winter warmer. Ambitious statement as it's solstice.
Run out of bianco so resorted to extra dry. The result was bitterness incarnate - wouldn't recommend.
Not totally unpleasant but a bit weird
Simple but effective
Think Dry Manhattan and you've got it covered. If you like dry and Manhattans, you're home.
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.
