Love this! Mine is amaro and orange juice — Campari classically, but good with any amaro in any ratio. The OJ can admittedly be a bit of a quality Achilles, though. I love that your vermouth and soda is sturdier, while being lower ABV than a G&T. Thanks for this fun piece!
Could not agree more on this bev choice!! It’s my go-to!! I tend to prefer the dry vermouths but it’s definitely good with either. The wine shop person who turned me onto vermouth and soda a couple years ago recommended Lustau Vermut. I’ve only had the blanco and it’s been my house vermouth ever since. Makes a great savory martini but truly shines in the soda combo, with an olive (or several because it’s my house and I can put five olives in my drink if I want to!!)
I was going to recommend the Lustau Blanco. It is perfect with soda, lemon peel, and an olive. I could probably down a gallon of them on a hot summer day.
Vermouth spritzes forever!! Looking forward to trying your recs. I adore Capitoline Rosé, my local vermouth hero. It’s got a sweet-savory thing going and is in permanent rotation in my home. Also a big fan of Trincheri dry! It’s VERY herbaceous and very fresh smelling (even when it’s been living in my fridge for … too long).
