Arsenic and Old Lace from Food and Wine. Gin, dry vermouth, crème de violette and absinthe. This is a fun drink, and one where the dry vermouth works well. We give this a 4.

The Bensonhurst from Food and Wine. A variation on the Manhattan, but suing dry vermouth, and a combination of Cynar and Maraschino liqueur. We prefer sweet vermouth in this type of drink, the dry leaves it feeling a little out of balance for us. We give this a 3.

The Trinidad Sour from Food and Wine. This has Rye, lemon juice, Orgeat, and an outrageous amount of Angostura Bitters. It is interesting, but we found the Angostura to be a bit overwhelming. We give this a 3.

A nice combination of gin, Lillet Blanc, St Germain and grapefruit juice. This is a pleasant and slightly unexpected combination fo flavors. We give this a 4.
