Substituting vermouths (go high-end) dramatically alters the character of this light and easy aperitivo

Simple and subtle. I used standard vermouths and think more exotic brands will make a big difference. Not necessarily for the better, but exciting to try.

Down to the last of my Alessio Chinato (Torino-style?), pairing it with Noilly Prat Dry... Why does this work so well?!... The orange peel gives the perfect accent... Quite surprised by this! (19 Jun 2022, 2:20p)

I think I prefer it with Martini Rubino and Valencia tonic water.

Love the simplicity of this one and that it features vermouths beyond background ingredient, but why is it 30/30/30 here (as I prefer it) and 30/60/top up in the book?

I'm continually updating and improving recipes on this site. The recipe you see in the book (I presume 15th edition) dates from before this cocktail was last updated. This cocktail is not among the 3,000 in the 16th edition of our book.

This brings out all the herbal and bitter notes in Vermouth that get lost in other mixes. Our favorite Diffords recipe so far.

Agreed.
Made an Addington Plus adding 10ml Gin and leaving out the soda
