We love these two-ingredient cocktails. With this one, we indulged in a tasting session. For the Bianco Vermouth we stuck with Pedro & Co. For the brandy, we went, in order, with Soberano (Spanish), Metaxa 7 Years (Greek) and Martell VS (French). For us, the Metaxa won, hands down. And the Martell was a long last (too austere and sharp). Given that Brazil was a Portuguese colony, we see no compelling reason to go with a Spanish brandy.
