| 3 dash | orange bitters — orange bitters | base |
| 1 pony | dry vermouth — French vermouth | modifier |
| 1 pony | sweet vermouth — Italian vermouth | modifier |
| 3 dash | Acid phosphate — acid phosphate | other |
- Shake the orange bitters, Italian vermouth, French vermouth, and acid phosphate with ice.
- Strain into a cocktail glass and serve.
- Nose
- Aromatised wine and orange spice lead the nose.
- Palate
- Duplex matters because it records the odd but important acid-phosphate branch inside the vermouth-cocktail world, where minerality and brightness were used as structure rather than citrus.
- Finish
- The finish is dry, brisk, and gently bitter.
- Summary
- A mineral-leaning two-vermouth cocktail from the acid-phosphate aperitif branch.
