    yes, that was the next step. we just switched to GT after that because drinking straight gin didn’t feel right.

    maybe it was the wrong kind of vermouth but it was incredibly bad at all ratios.

      Vermouth tends to be a strong and controversial flavor, I like wet Martinis but I wouldn’t want to drink one with Noilly Prat (my go-to is Dolin dry), and even though I have a sweet tooth I hated all the bianco vermouths I’ve tried except Martini & Rossi. And then there’s the matter of how fresh that vermouth is …

      drinking straight gin didn’t feel right.

      It kinda get that, on the other hand I actually enjoy straight gin in a glencairn sometimes. I’d feel self-conscious about ordering that in public, though.

        i mean for tasting, sure. but not as a long drink…

        Edit not that martini qualifies there, for that matter
