Vermouth Cocktail
The Vermouth Cocktail illustrates the flavorful beauty of good vermouth, with just a little adornment. If you're prone to dismiss this drink out of hand because it's based on vermouth, then you're denying yourself the opportunity to see what the original fuss from the nineteenth century was all about.
Japanese Cocktail
The Japanese Cocktail, curiously made with mostly French ingredients, is like an Old Fashioned with a rich and nutty twist. This classic cocktail included in Jerry Thomas' Bar-Tender's Guide in 1862.
Martinez Cocktail
The Martinez starts with equal parts gin and sweet vermouth, and this alone distinguishes it from the modern martini. You then add a teaspoon of maraschino liqueur and either Angostura or orange bitters.
Improved Gin Cocktail

Intro to Aperol

Ridealong Cocktail
With cognac, orange liqueur, and lemon, the Sidecar is one of those unappreciated classics that we adore, boozy but still crisp and light. Here, we swap in grapefruit liqueur and up the cognac just a bit.
The Claridge
But while the Slope keeps me coming back to the magical interaction between rye whiskey, apricot brandy, and bitter vermouth, the Claridge keeps the stone fruit's appeal alive when it's mixed with gin and dry vermouth.
