A few things...
1. I prefer half the vermouth, a 4:2:1 - this goes for Negronis as well.
2. Dump out your Martini vermouth, it pales in comparison to Dolin or another better vermouth.
3. I recommend trying it with Rye, and if you don't like Rye, then use something bottled in bond. A higher proof bourbon let's this drink get better and better with some slow sipping dilution.

This was sugar sweet. China china is really delicious and complex but it has to be mixed with caution as it is really sweet. I was dubious when I saw that this was going to be mixed with honey. I would leave the honey out and pair it with a very robust bourbon. A low proof bourbon will be lost with the amount of sugar in this drink.
