Plymouth gin with Dolin dry vermouth and a dash or two of orange bitters. Served with a twist.

Definitely will try. Would you use any bitters with an olive?

I would, but if you are making your martinis dirty, it might get lost. Definitely try it if you only garnish with the olive!

Pricy but worth it. Other suggestions in here are good as well (Plymouth, Hendricks)

Ford’s is very good and worth trying

I have a bottle of Lillet Blanc specifically to make Corpse Reviver no.2, I should try making a Vesper at home some time.

My favorite! I sub Cocchi Americano for the Lillet to get the quinine flavor that used to be in the Kina Lillet.
