Perfect Cocktail

On this date (December 18th ... I was late posting the description), I mixed a 'Perfect Cocktail' from page no. 135 in Mr. Boston's Bartender's Guide. The drink was far better than the Homestead Cocktail we had earlier which contained a lot of Sweet Vermouth. This cocktail contained smaller amounts of Sweet and Dry Vermouths. I garnished with an olive stuffed with anchovy.

The recipe:

1 1/2 tsp Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 tsp Sweet Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 oz Gin (Seagram's Extra Dry)
1 Dash Bitters

The drink was fairly enjoyable, better suited to my taste than a very dry classic martini. Try it! The Christmas glasses helped also.

Salut!
