Drink of the Week: Alessio Vermouth Bianco

The newest release from the Tempus Fugit family, Alessio Vermouth Bianco is a clear vermouth, but don’t confuse this sweet herbal wine with its dry counterparts; the style is a variation on the classic sweet Italian vermouth, so it has more of a robust profile than its looks might suggest. A striking bitter orange flavor leads the charge, accented by a honeysuckle-like sweetness and a crisp, herbal finish. Dress it up in a white Negroni with equal parts London dry gin and Suze, or lengthen it with soda and serve with a lemon twist—just remember to refrigerate it after opening, so it stays perky and fresh.
