Well, Maxim's used to serve this cocktail, which, at the time, I thoroughly enjoyed. Perhaps you'll like one. Into iced shaker pour two ounces of Holland Gin(or other typesif you wish),one ounce ofItalian sweetor dry Vermouth at your own liking;a dash of Curacao,or Arrack,or Cacao,or Noyeau, Maxim's was just like that—if one thing didn't suit your taste,another would.
