Carpano Antica Formula
Based on an original recipe from 1786, Carpano boasts assertive notes of cherry and fig and is a natural in any cocktail that calls for sweet vermouth (Manhattan, Brooklyn, and all of the many variants therein). But it’s also a winner when it’s front-and-center—try it neat, on ice, or with soda for some late-afternoon, low-ABV enjoyment.
