Classic Vermouth Cocktail
As the name promises, this cocktail is all about the vermouth, with the addition of maraschino liqueur and bitters delicately modifying, so their influence...

Goes to show ya how much I pay attention to what I'm swilling. Only now in this moment have I finally figured out that Cocchi Storico and Cocchi di Torino are the same product. Lo and behold, the damn term 'Storico' is prominently printed on the label, smh... Using this product (and tasting the drink alongside a small pour of it), the cocktail expresses like an enhanced version of it, accentuating the fruity and bitter notes. It's almost the opposite of that Martini which includes but a whisper of vermouth.

On the vermouth di Torino note, I just enjoyed a very nice Cardagroni with 45 (four pillars) gin, 35 Cardamaro and 22.5 cocchi VdT. Really liking Cardamaro atm!

Haha, yes I can see how that could happen! Took me a little while too. There seem to be quite a few different brands of vermouth di torino coming out now, but I haven’t had chance to sample them, only the cocchi one. At the moment you have to buy them mostly online in Australia, unfortunately.
