When it comes to drinks with vermouth I’ve never really cared for the stuff. My own personal preference when it comes to drinks with vermouth is a bastardization of my own. I substitute the vermouth with a port in it instead. I like Neogroni’s and I bastardize them also. A cross between an an Americano and a Neogroni. Most of the drinks I make are potent. Like a true Long Island ice tea.I like Manhattans. Classic cocktail but it must have rye whisky to be correct. Unfortunately a lot of bartenders don't know what rye whisky is.
The same bartenders don't have a clue what an old fashioned is either.
