The challenge, and indeed the opportunity, with the Bronx is to strike the perfect balance between the botanical flavours of the gin, vermouths and zesty...
Hi Simon,
I've found that the addition of orange bitters adds the spine that it lacks without it. Also, in lieu of Blanc Vermouth as a Dry substitute, I've found that something off-center like Cocchi Americano fills that hole nicely as well (though I'd pull back on the bitters in that case).
All best,
Frank
Used Dolin Blanc with Dolin Rosso and it worked well. Agree with others that a blanc/bianco works better in a Bronx than a dry white; good call, Simon! Also added a dash of Fee Bros. orange bitters with the Angostura orange, which ups the orangeness.
This was excellent. The gin and vermouth works perfectly with the orange. Does have a wonderful herbal taste with the softening of the orange. Just the correct amount of sweetness.
My first Bronx & won’t be the last!
(Always great when you realize you have all the ingredients to make the weekly featured cocktail ?)
Bronxs all round has got our dinner party off to a great start - people are relaxing & the conversation is flowing - thanks for the intro Simon!
