“A pearl from dusty books,” I like that. And I’m delighted that you took time to leave your thoughts here, thanks!

I’m enjoying The Merry Widow right now and I’m absolutely exciting! Soft pink, high aromatic and mellow [so wet] Dry Martini from Golden Age… It’s like a real pearl mined from old dusty books 8)

I’ll be watching Science of Drink to learn what you have to say about it! I hope you enjoy it.

It sounds like yet another absolutely wonderful “Martini” for my collection. Today evening (e.g. right now) I am looking for some inspiration for translating one of my last post about Atty Cocktail, and looks like I’ve found it 8) Thanks, being a huge fan of a Martini I look forward to testing the Merry Widow!

Sounds like a very interesting experiment. I’m guessing the genever is your best bet. Thanks for the idea, I may try that, too.

I wonder how it would work with either Hayman’s Royal Dock Navy Strength gin (possible a little too “hot”) or with genever. I may have to try it with both this weekend. Thanks for posting the recipe.

I definitely will. See, I am a firm believer that if you don’t like the way a drink looks, you won’t want to drink it either. But, of course how it tastes is quite important. I’m so glad you posted the recipe and history behind it.

Yes, it is a charming, soft pink. Keep it on your list, I don’t think you’ll be sorry.

I love the color and it sounds delightful with a bit more flavor than a standard martini. Other than the fact that I don’t have Benedictine or absinthe around…. I would make this. Definitely one to keep on my list of things to make.
