How to make it
Stir the measured ingredients over ice until cold, then strain into a chilled glass.
Glass: Cocktail glass. Ice: None in serving glass. Garnish: None specified.
Flavor & balance
- Bitter (dominant): Bitter aperitif, amaro or tonic supplies an intentional bitter counterweight.
- Boozy (Spirit-Forward) (dominant): Little nonalcoholic lengthening leaves the spirit or fortified ingredients prominent after chilling and dilution.
- Sweet (supporting): Sweeteners, fruit or sweetened modifiers round the attack and add weight; product sugar varies.
Assess sweetness, bitterness and tactile drying separately. These flavor expectations are based on recipe structure, not measured tasting scores. Actual products, ice and dilution will change the result.
Preparation & batching
Service complexity: low. Batchability: premix with dilution trial.
- Measure and label the chosen product specification; chill appropriate glassware.
Finish chilling, dilution and garnish at service. Trial the actual serving method before approving a batch. Workload is an editorial assessment; no labor timing or storage validation is claimed.

Recipe notes & variations
This DrinkBoy variant specifies sweet vermouth. Keep it distinct from dry-vermouth Brooklyn formulations; Amer Picon replacements also change bitterness and strength.
For a Black Flannel variation, change one component at a time and record the selected product, proof, sweetener concentration and dilution. Compare it with this reference before naming or publishing the variation.
Compare: Little Italy, Manhattan, Red Hook, Rob Roy, Vieux Carré.
