About this drink
More on the Algonquin
What it tastes like
Served spirit-forward. Overall it reads as fruity.
Ingredient tips
- Vermouth is fortified wine — store it in the fridge after opening and replace every couple of months.
When to serve it
Serve as a slow, spirit-forward sipper rather than a session drink.
Common mistakes
- Shaking too briefly. Shake hard for around 10–12 seconds so the drink chills and dilutes properly.
- Using an old, room-temperature bottle of vermouth. Once opened it oxidises fast — keep it cold.
- Serving in a warm glass. Chill the coupe or martini glass in the freezer first.
Variations to try
- No dry vermouth? Try Dry white wine as a substitute (last resort).
