Origin

History & Origins

A classic aperitif born from French mixology traditions, this sophisticated combination of vermouth and blackcurrant liqueur dates back to early 20th-century Parisian bars. It represents the elegant simplicity that defined pre-prohibition era aperitif culture, emphasizing quality ingredients and refined taste.

Bartender’s Insight

Pro Tips

Use premium dry vermouth with complex botanical notes rather than basic versions

From Elena

  • employ fresh blackcurrant liqueur that hasn't oxidized

  • serve ice-cold in a classic coupe glass

  • add a fresh twist of lemon to brighten the earthy notes

  • consider a measure of soda water for additional refreshment and effervescence
