Blackthorn No. 4

This drink benefits from a long, chilling and diluting stir. The result is Martini in style, fruity yet dry

Would the usual Rosso vermouth work okay for dubonnet- to save a separate purchase?

An underrated classic, called Blackthorn No. 4 in The World's Drinks And How To Mix Them (1934). I prefer with 30ml Dubonnet and a dash of Orange Bitters. Fantastic.

Many thanks, Jason. I've renamed this cocktail to follow Boothby's convention and will take a fresh look at proportions.
