Mine is a large Bombay, well chilled (no rocks) with the capped bottle of dry vermouth simply passed over the top of the glass in a conciliatory gesture of tradition, with several big green olives and a few drops of olive juice. Cheers!

An excellent receipe!

I like it this way. I prefer more "aromatic" gin, if you will. Bombay and the like don't do it for me. Hendricks, Ballast Point Old Grove, Rogue Spruce Gin, Boodles, etc...
