Not my usual fare, but I've been batching a lot of cocktails lately. I thought I might see how the pros do it. Overall this is surprisingly satisfying. The coloration is a bit more brassy than my home made version. It didn't affect taste. This tasted like a 3 to 1 mix and is better than what I would expect to get at an Applebee or such. I realize that bar isn't set too high, but a martini is an amazingly difficult drink to get right for a fussy drinker. I honestly expected it to be undrinkable. But I enjoyed every drop of it. Based on this experience I will happily try some of the other pre-mixed cocktails from Batch & Bottle. They don't seem terribly expensive, they're tasty, easy and convenient. I can see this being a great choice for a vacation hotel stash or something like that.

It has a clear, pale, yellow-gray appearance. The aroma is of vegetable, gin, and botanicals. The flavor is of that, with some spiced wine character. It has a light body and a dry finish. RJT
