Affinity
A spirituous aperitivo-style cocktail, or an after-dinner sipper, which can be made with numerous different sweet vermouths or indeed a vermouth amaro...

Such an interesting title, would love to know the origin. The DNA of both martinis and Manhattans are evident, but my own history of single malt and wine, bright together in one glass. Pleasingly wine-like and simultaneously boozy and spirituous. This evening’s iteration included bowmore 12, a blend of Cocchi Storico, Averna and Dolin rouge, and Dolin dry. I was a little trepidatious but pleased with the result.

Looks like you've gone through a lot of different ingredients on this one. I kept it simple to inaugurate my first crack at Cocchi Dopo Teatro and paired it with Cocchi Extra Dry and a wee bit extra blended scotch (1.25 oz) because "equal-parts" always seems a bit unbalanced and too sweet to my palate. A good dash of Boker's didn't hurt, either. Excellent!

And, yes, Affinity is well up on my list of favourite cocktails! Just employed dopo Teatro to good effect in a Charlie Pie too…

From memory I was trying to recreate dopo Teatro with available ingredients. Having subsequently tried it, it’s one my favourite bottles of the last couple of years… brilliant stuff (insert lip smack emoji)
