More from the Martini family.
Bamboo
Dry sherry and dry vermouth, stirred — a full cocktail at half the proof. Yokohama's contribution to the canon.
Black Manhattan
A Manhattan with Amaro Averna standing in for the vermouth — darker, rounder, a little nocturnal.
Boulevardier
A Negroni with bourbon where the gin was. Same bitter spine, warmer voice.
