2:1 megawet martini: plymouth gin + dolin vermouth de chambéry. lemon twist but no olive.
holy fuck, a revelation! smooth, citrusy, eminently quaffable. my drink for the spring along with whiskey sours.
now begins the process of drying it up to see how far i can take it— 3:1 fo sho, 4:1 likely, 5:1......?
i haven’t liked 5:1s before but this might cut it
plymouth is glorious enough to sip straight, for me at least. what a great fucking balance. pure goodness.
beefeeter is still glorious of course but more for salty dogs and the like, where the juniper spine rises through the slushy mix. also limey tonics and summery rickeys.
