I hope everyone had a good Christmas! Today we are making a cocktail that is pretty much just vermouth.
This is Green Room!

Notes
“How is it?”
“Tastes like vermouth.”
The Verdict: Vermouth
From The Tasting Notes –
Truthfully, we thought this would be horrible, but it ended up not being bad. It was drinkable and not too strong. However, it mostly just tasted like vermouth. The curacao flavor comes in a bit in the end, but this almost tastes like drinking straight vermouth. So, probably wouldn’t recommend this one unless you really love vermouth!

Thanks for taking the time to try it for us all. Based on your um, recommendation, i’m gonna skip this puppy.
Thanks for trying the crazy cocktails (and food) you guys find in those old books, some of them just crack me up! And some of them are actually pretty good looking, especially the recipes. I just have one request for you, if you can do it. Are there any recipes for cocktails that don’t require alcohol? I love mixed drinks, but it turns out I’m allergic to alcohol (side effect of being on blood pressure meds, unfortunately). I miss being able to drink them and wondered if there are any old recipes for them.
