The Negroni No.2 is an easy spin-off on the classic negroni. Substituting red vermouth for dry vermouth adds an extra bite to this already bitter cocktail. If you are a true Campari fan, this version might be just what you needed. We recommend using Dolin Dry vermouth in place of the sweet red vermouth. The red vermouth is used to balance the drink and offset the bitter aftertaste with a sweet attack. However, like adding salt to enhance flavor, using Dolin Dry will accent the brightness of the Campari and let the natural bitter amaro shine through.

The Poets Dream is not only very boozey, but very classic. This recipe is for Martini lovers. Originally created in the 1930s Old Waldorf Astoria bar book, the recipe called for equal parts gin, dry vermouth, and benedictine. However, over time the drink has evolved into a more classic martini construction.
