It's a dry, aromatic drink with a strong gin backbone, spice from the bitters, and a hint of orange and cherry sweetness from the grenadine and orange bitters.
Yes, any London Dry style gin works, though the character will shift slightly. Avoid heavily botanicaled gins that may overpower the bitters balance.
Stir in a mixing glass with ice for 20–30 seconds to chill and dilute evenly, then strain into a coupe or cocktail glass.
A coupe glass, cocktail (martini) glass, or small rocks glass works well. The classic choice is a coupe for aperitifs.
Primarily dry and aromatic, with the grenadine providing only a whisper of sweetness and color rather than making it a sweet drink.
