  • Like a passion fruit Hemingway Daq. Nicely tart. Experiment with different ratios; dry vermouth only shows up at the very end. Sweet sip, sour and lightly bitter swallow with a grapefruit accord. Peychaud's is nice too.

Such a fabulous drink- the vermouth and the bitters doing exactly what they are meant to. Nothing gratuitous.
