I love these two cocktails - so classy. They remind me so much of when I was on business in Italy last year, having aperitivi in the piazza before heading off to dinner. Personally I'd use campari instead of martini bitter.
A little tipple tip: vermouth is wine-based and rarely exceeds 16% ABV - as a result it can go off quite soon after opening. Store in the fridge and, if you can obtain one, it's worth using a vacuum-seal wine keeper such as VacuVin to extend its life. Unless of course, you're a big fan of the aperitivo and your bottle doesn't last very long...
Just buy the smaller bottles of vermouth. Vacuume-seal, and keep it in the fridge It'll last a bit longer. Even if it does go bad it's not gonna kill you like bailey's would it'd just make the drink taste a bit off.
That's an interesting point - there was a test done a few years ago comparing Manhattans made with a freshly-opened bottle of vermouth and one of the same brand that had been sat open and half-empty on a bar for six months. The testers were split on which tasted better - and the theory was that people were so used to the flavour of 'off' vermouth that they thought that's how a Manhattan should taste. But yeah it's not as if it's bad for you...
This is such a great summer drink! So far I have only been familiar with the Negroni. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work :)))) I found the link to the drinks via your summer pasta or sausage pasta recipe! Soooo delicious! Many thanks.
Mi-To - a big favourite! But ... you started an evolution, you just didn't finish. I'm sure, you know this all eventually finishes with the ultimate Negorni. ;)
The other name of throwing, consisting in pouring the liquid from the tin filled with ice (can also be without) to the other and so on in order to aerate the cocktaill and have a lighter dilution. The higher you pour, the better the aeration
Jamie, you are a reformer. In your trabels you should have devoted more time in this piedmont region. Apart from the best wines in the world, there are amazing foods
that's not a Milano-Torino... the original is made with Campari (a bitter from Milano) and Punt e Mes (sweet vermouth from Torino). that's whole point of the name! you can also add a splash of soda water. another error is that they added the ice afterwards... you need to pour the content onto the ice already in the glass.
It is a perfect cocktail for me!
I lived in Milan and has been in Torino. Cool cocktail !!!!
Thank you for nastolgiya guys!
Sergey Sarychev Our pleasure Sergey. We love it too.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos Jamie!

Daisy Martin So easy and seriously classy. The Italians know how to do drinks properly.

Iain Meldrum It rarely lasts very long in our house.

Oh man, this sounds delicious. Gonna have to try this.
convincingly mouth-watering

Very nice)))
Nice and easy. Thanks!
Pleasure!
Cool... I would love to have one. I’m going to my minibar station 😎🥳
Rubbing orange peel on the edge of the glass is great aswell!
Great shout. It's such an aromatic drink.
Nice! :)
This is one of my favourite drinks; and it only has 120 calories (or so I’ve been told) ☺️
Super classy! So simple and so beautiful
Fotografando à Mesa :)
Torino-torino Martini is a brand from Turin
Ahaha, il caffè Plattì. Prossima volta vada da Testa però :) Il gelato è fenomenale.
Mi-To - a big favourite! But ... you started an evolution, you just didn't finish. I'm sure, you know this all eventually finishes with the ultimate Negorni. ;)
Nice looking cafe.
gary daniels It was BEAUTIFUL. Unbelievable place, if you ever get the chance to visit you should!
do you recommend any English brandy brands because my fiance and I are going to have a English theme wedding next May
This throwing thing reminds me what is called the Cuban Roll ^^
Stevan Milaš What's that?
The other name of throwing, consisting in pouring the liquid from the tin filled with ice (can also be without) to the other and so on in order to aerate the cocktaill and have a lighter dilution. The higher you pour, the better the aeration
You will also see this with Sherry (a.k.a. Jerez, Xeres) from the southwest of Spain and Sidra (cider) from the north.
Funny thing... I also saw that in India, Bombay... But they throw everything, coffee, tea...

Can I swap the Bitter Liqueur with Campari?
You bet ! Gran Classico as well. There will be differences but it's the same core if I may say :p
that's not a Milano-Torino... the original is made with Campari (a bitter from Milano) and Punt e Mes (sweet vermouth from Torino). that's whole point of the name!
you can also add a splash of soda water.
another error is that they added the ice afterwards... you need to pour the content onto the ice already in the glass.
Milano-Torino is only Campari e Punt & Mes
Louis sent me.
James Wood Welcome!
Kills me that they're not using Campari, heh.
you think i can use Campari instead of the Martini bitter? thanks.
yes
Well, that bar is in Turin. Martini's brand was born in Turin. You do the math. (Anyway, a lot of bars in Italy use Martini bitter instead of Campari)
originally turks calls it "meze" pal
This is age restricted...
Milano - Torino... non Torino -Torino!!!! dov'è il bitter Campari!!!!! e soprattutto il Punt e Mes??!!
Non si sa. È completamente sbagliato. Dove cavolo è il Punto & Mes?
would be better with a slug of gin too.
A slug of gin makes everything better!
