History

A Dry Martini delicately influenced by marsala and almond.

This recipe is an adaptation of one created around 2013 by Tony Conigliaro at 69 Colebrooke Row. Tony C's initial recipe specifies 50ml London dry gin, 10ml marsala dolce (sweet marsala), 5ml dry vermouth, and 3 dashes of 69 Colebrooke Row-housemade almond bitters. Without access to 69 Colebrooke Row's lab kit or the patience required for its use, amaretto was substituted for the almond bitters, and a semisecco (medium) marsala was employed.
