I have a bottle of Lillet Rose that I still haven't opened (my gf is French [Alsace region] and says Lillet is not very popular there), but I did open a bottle of Martini Bianco by mistake (I thought I´m opening Martini Dry) and it's probably the worst drink I ever tried. It literary tastes like a metalic-headache. But I am a huge fan of Martini Fiero. I recently bought 3 bottles on sales and can't wait to finish a bottle of Martini Rossso that I keep in the fridge since the middle of January. I developed my own version of Italian Americano, but I got a bit borred from that (and started exploring cognacs and brandies). But I look forward to see your video, I think vermuth based aperitifs are perfect for this season.

What made you add some wine before infusion and some after instead of just infusing all of it or just infusing gin?

@KevinKos2 жыл бұрын
Since I used Sous Vide for the infusion the wine oxidized in the process and it turned brown and It loses some of the wine flavors. French vermouths/aperitifs are usually more "wine forward" than the Italian ones so I added some fresh wine to the end to regain the taste of fresh wine in the product. Thank you for the question and for watching my channel. Cheers!
