Comments

This month's Imbibe has a few riffs; Greg Moreno's (Ward III, NYC) Rockin' Like Bamboo was quite nice: 1 oz dry vermouth, 3/4 oz bianco vermouth, 3/4 oz East India sherry, 1/2 oz Cynar, 1/4 oz Byrrh, orange twist.

PGman commented on 11/24/2022:

I find it much more balanced using blanc vermouth, because using dry vermouth makes it too astringent for my taste.
