Homestead Cocktail

On this day, we had a 'Homestead Cocktail', on page 98 in Mr. Boston's Bartender's Guide.

The recipe:

3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 Gin (Seagram's Extra Dry)

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Serve with a slice of orange.

Just when I thought all cocktails were tasting (disturbingly) good, I found one that I do not care for. To me, the vermouth was just overpoweringly sweet and cloying. Oh well... . And I used the Christmas glasses.
