Absolutely delightful! The balance of flavors is exceptional, with the herbal notes really shining through. For a fun twist, try infusing the gin with a sprig of fresh rosemary before mixing. It adds a lovely aromatic depth that complements the gin's crisp juniper and vermouth's richness beautifully.
