More from the Martini family.
Vieux Carré
Rye, cognac, vermouth, and a quarter ounce of Bénédictine, split between two bitters. New Orleans in a glass, named for the French Quarter.
White Negroni
Gin, Suze, and Lillet Blanc — a Negroni rebuilt from French aperitifs. Paler, more floral, every bit as bitter underneath.
Bamboo
Dry sherry and dry vermouth, stirred — a full cocktail at half the proof. Yokohama's contribution to the canon.
