Cocktail of the day:

6th February 2025 is The day Elizabeth Windsor became Queen

Review:

Gin-based with vermouth's bittersweet wine notes and pineapple tropical fruitiness. This fruity Martini takes its name from a three-equal parts Perfect Martini being called the Queen. This version not only has pineapple but traditionally 1 part dry vermouth and 1 part rosso vermouth to 2 parts gin. I prefer with a tad less dry vermouth.

Yummy, a martini fit for a Queen !! I used Dolin vermouths because that's what I had, along with Dole Lite Pineapple Juice to cut the carbs. The Hayman's Gin is key: I unfortunately ran out of Haymans after the first round, and was unhappy with both Plymouth or T10 as a substitute (but I did find the T10 + 1 tsp simple syrup and a dash of salt made it close to the original using Haymans). A keeper!!
