...if you don't like it that stiff, put some tonic in it ffs.

tonic is for summer, the quinine lowers your body temperature.

for the unwary, it's dry vermouth, not sweet(red) nor white. ive seen people try that. ugggghhh.

meanwhile, an alexander is nice for winter-- high in calories.

shake equal parts of gin, creme de cacao & light cream. serve. add dash of nutmeg.

subtitute brandy & it's the now more popular (still a relic) brandy alexander, which maybe t's better w/ the chocolate & nutmeg but the juniper in the gin actually works well.

cheers.
