This is actually our favourite recipe for an easy drinking martini: 5:1. We prefer Sky Wave Signature London Dry Gin, Lillet Blanc (as the 'vermouth'), and Sky Wave Grapefruit Bitters. And we stir, not shake. So, to be honest, apart from the ratio, perhaps nothing like this at all!

Fabulous! Love the citrus hit. Definitely stirred - no syrups or other unctuousness to contend with. We see what you mean about the similarity - texture and herbal notes - with a Corps Reviver No 2, but without the absinthe, which some will find a bonus.
Delicious, but Simon is correct about the grenadine. If yours is not premium, this cocktail can taste one-dimensional. If necessary, add a little more.
