Noilly Prat Ambré, the vermouth many favour for this cocktail, was first made in 1986. As reproduced above, the original 1884 recipe merely calls for "French vermouth."

Haha! I made probably the worst version of this drink with Cinzano Extra Dry, a cheap French Grape Brandy and a barspoon of sugar syrup to compensate for no gum syrup. It was still tasty. I guess it was the barspoon of sugar! A solid 4!
