I made this with Chazalettes Vermouth Extra Dry Vermouth that I had hanging around. Nice. I made it a second time, where I slightly reduced the Vermouth and compensated with some Amaretto. Very nice. Hope folks try it.

And I used Aperol and Bombay Sapphire...

It’s all a matter of preference (and gin), but I would veer towards an extra 10ml of gin.

Nice lightweight late arvo pre dinner drink- made with our local WA West Winds Sabre dry London gin, Dolin dry and Luxardo Aperitivo. Sweet, herbaceous with lingering bitterness- the Dolin tames the sweetness of the Aperitivo.
