Well, today’s cocktail turned out to be an exercise in how things can go wrong even when you know exactly what you’re doing. I think this is the first drink I’ve been familiar with prior to creating the video, and I made the drink in exactly the same manner as I have every other time. In the end, something just tasted off. Perhaps my vermouth has spoiled. If that’s the case, I welcome the opportunity to buy new and better vermouth!
I do encourage EVERYONE watching this to try this drink when they have opportunity to. The flavors and complexity bring something for everyone and could challenge you in ways you didn’t expect.
Keep coming up with names for the show in the comment field below!
