In this recipe, we’ve replaced the gin base with vermouth, making for a lower alcohol drink with a lovely, delicate flavor. It’s not too far off from the original, but enough for a genuine change of pace.
Ingredients
- 7 ml (¼ fl ounces) sugar
- 7 ml (¼ fl ounces) lime juice
- 74 ml (2 ½ fl ounces) dry vermouth
- Lime wheel, for garnish
Preparation
1. Combine the sugar and lime juice in a cocktail shaker, and stir to dissolve the sugar.
2. Add the vermouth to the shaker.
3. Fill with ice above the level of the liquid.
4. Shake vigorously for at least 20 seconds.
5. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish.
Roberts & June
Roberts & June call Washington D.C. home and spend their days doing policy work, making things like education and upward mobility accessible. They spend their nights mixing drinks, trying to make cocktails more accessible. In addition to a well-stocked bar, they own many bikes, have less-than-pleasant thoughts about winter (after surviving more than a dozen of them in Boston), and dream about spending a summer in France.
