Wm Boothby1908321908 The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them by Hon Wm Boothby.md["Chill the Dubonnet and dry English gin well.", "Serve in a vermouth or cocktail glass."]Well chilledQuinquina fruit and dry gin botanicals rise together.The equal-parts split makes the drink fuller and darker than a Martini, but drier and more structural than a purely wine-led aperitif.The finish is herbal, winey, and lightly bitter.A major quinquina-and-gin aperitif from the French cafe line.Boothby notes that this is known as a Zaza in all French cafes. That makes it especially useful as a cross-channel naming checkpoint for the aperitif field.

It helps show how orange juice entered the stirred aperitif field without breaking entirely from the aromatic cocktail family.
