E' vero avete cambiato oggi, due settimane dopo di noi negli US (e' di nuovo +6! ;-) Good enough of a reason to celebrate then! :-))
The fancier you get…
I was a bartender (before they called them “mixologists”) and it has been my experience that many drink recipes … let’s take a Margarita for instance always worked better with 2nd shelf liquor. Triple Sec as opposed to Cointreau, Cuervo as opposed to Patr...
Of course there are credentials and CREDENTIALS…
So I of course must defer to our Chief Resident Negronologist….
Interesting. I would very preferentially take Cointreau in a Margarita and Cocchi in a Manhattan.
They really add to the drinks IMO.
My favorite sweet vermouth…Cocchi
Much preferred over the perhaps more revered Carpano Antica, which seems too extracted, heavy and sweet. ...
Recently in a local well stocked liquor store I noticed numerous Vermouth brands that I haven't tried yet. I buy it because I like a good martini. I prefer Dolin dry, next would be
Martini and Rossi extra dry, then Cinzano extra dry. I'll have to reach deeper into my pocket to try the others they have.
I’m a martini guy.
Except I could never have a dry enough martini. So I never replaced my vermouth when I ran out of it 30 years ago.
