Thank you, Simon but 'How to make' (para 7) has a volume error: 90ml = 3 fl oz not 30. Though I'm all for a large glassful normally...

Well said, Simon! Marmite for ever!

Hi John, Yes I knew Hem's rationale but was the 15:1 factual? And if it was, could one fault a commander if the principle saved lives? His own mens', of course. Well, whatever the truth may be, I'm enjoying a 5:1 Beefeater to Dolin Dry Gibson with 3 wee onions. Wishing you happy drinking. Best.

Will try Highland Park 12yo and Dolin Blanc later as an aperitif. It's an intriguing combo I never thought of as a less herbal Dry Manhattan. We shall see.
