Candidate #2 for Montini - LOSER!
This was an attempt to make a not-too-sweet cocktail, since most of my popular mixes are pretty sweet.
1 part extra dry vermouth
1 part couvoisier cognac
1 lime
1 cups ice
Combine vermouth, cognac, and squeezed lime juice into a cocktail shaker. Add strips of lime zest, and ice. Shake. Makes 1 serving -- more than you will want to drink. Although the ingredients you started with were all of fine quality, the sum is far less than the parts. The result is an astringent fluid, bitter thanks to the lime zest, reminiscent of Formula 409. No amount of added sugar will make this beverage drinkable. Use it and the squeezed lime to freshen your garbage disposal.
