  • The bitters are optional. Good Vermouth is fairly bitter. Try it with Campari (probably the most bitter red vermouth) Chinato is even better but more expensive.

  • no, it's a martini. what's more, it's a classic martini. originally a 'dry' martini was specified as such because it contained dry vermouth not sweet. it had nothing to do with amount of gin. aside from the orange peel, this is a classic martini, through and through.

  • So, it's a Negroni without the Compari?
