Notes
Here are a few tips that can help. For a drier taste, reduce the vermouth slightly. This balances the drink to personal preference.
I like to keep my gin and vermouth chilled before making the drink. This helps maintain the cool temperature and improves the flavor. A fresh lemon twist brings out its crispness.
