Modern American Drinks by George J. Kappeler (1895, p.68) — George J. Kappeler 1895
| 1 jigger | sweet vermouth — Italian vermouth | base |
| seltzer — seltzer | dilution |
- Prepare the drink in the same manner as French Vermouth Frappe, using Italian vermouth in place of French.
- Nose
- Sweet vermouth herbs rise with a softened chilled perfume.
- Palate
- The service is colder and livelier than a standard vermouth cocktail, but less shaped by bitters or garnish; it lets the aromatised wine stand almost alone.
- Finish
- The finish is cool, sweet-herbal, and clean.
- Summary
- An ultra-cold sweet-vermouth service at the edge of the cocktail family.
