  • I used Aarborg, Amaro Montenegro and Dolin. It was great. I think that next time I'll try a twist of tangerine. Make a double as it does not fill a Nick & Nora. — ★★★★★
  • Nicely balanced before dinner cocktail. Used Dolin dry vermouth. Rate 4.5
  • Made with Aarborg, Dolin, and Lucano Anniversario. Handsome glassy amber color. Nose is cinnamon rolls with orange icing. Herbaceous, and maybe a touch too sweet.
  • Might scale back meletti/split sweetener btw amaro and marschino
  • Light in flavor, but not in body. Well balanced.
  • Made with Maraska and Krogstad: 4.5

Curated as authentic recipe. Changed vermouth to the NP Extra Dry (specified in book.) I have added this ingredient to the KC database, probably overdue. A few years ago Noilly Prat discontinued their original dry vermouth in the U.S. and went solely to Extra Dry for this market. However, they are now selling "Original Dry" again in smaller volumes in the U.S. as of ~2021. I came across a bottle last year and snapped it up--it is much better than the extra dry in my opinion. However, the "original" has been slightly reformulated as well. Anyway, I have converted the old catch-all Noilly Prat Dry ingredient to Noilly Prat Original Dry. So if you know which one a drink actually called for, you can specify the correct one in recipes.
