Is two parts gin, one part sweet vermouth, one part dry vermouth, and a whole strawberry.

My take on the drink, which doesn’t involve strawberries but does involve a splash of bitters, is currently nameless.  Although I’m generally good at naming cocktails, I’m sort of at a loss for this one, despite the fact that it’s the drink I’ve made myself to take to bed every night this week.

It’s not quite a Palm Desert Boulevard, and I don’t think it’s exactly a Romp In The Hay.  It tastes sort of like a Maud Gonne, maybe, but I feel like a Maud Gonne would involve Bailey’s.  If I were naming it after a Saint Etienne song it would be a 4:35 In the Morning, but that seems sort of clunky for a drink name.  It could also be a Panopticon, but I don’t think that conveys the deliciousness of this drink…

Ideas, anyone?
