History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2004 by David Ramos in the Netherlands. (David's original recipe didn't include bianco vermouth.)
Review:
A well-balanced, fortified salad in a glass.
If serving with cucumber sandwiches, and you're peeling the cucumbers for the sandwiches (as essential as cutting off your white bread), you'll find peeled cucumbers are easier to muddle and look better on the rim of your Martini.
