The Ford

Rather divisive this one, Sinead was fairly non-plussed but I really enjoyed!

2oz Gin
1 oz Dry Vermouth
1/3oz Benedictine
2 dash Orange Bitters

Stir everything with ice until nicely chilled and strain out.

Now as martini’s go this is about as wet as a incredibly wet thing, and I’m fine with that.

However Sinead prefers her martini so dry that to just wave the vermouth bottle in front of the glass is enough. That plus the presence of a twig based liquor and I was never going to be on to a winner, I should have known!
