  1. Antica Formula’s unmistakable taste is the result of a strictly controlled production process, prepared according to a recipe originally founded in 1786. Selected wines from Italian grapes are processed with herbs chosen from around the world for their excellence. These include vanilla beans from Madagascar, Papua New Guinea and Tahiti, precious saffron mainly from the plateau areas in Iran, and wormwood from the Alps of Piedmont. They are carefully extracted and refined for up to several months in a process that infuses and intensifies the flavours, to create the authentic taste of Antica Formula. http://www.carpano.com/en/prodotto/antica-formula-2/

  4. I've made a couple batches of this. One of them won best drink at a 'bring your own cocktail' party. My pro tip; it's pretty good regardless, but getting decent wine (vs the cheap stuff) is worth it for this. The vodka doesn't matter as much, but I'm guessing the same rule applies there a little too.

    Also, I've found a normal simple syrup with white sugar is better than with brown sugar; Brown sugar is just a little too rich, and makes the overall flavors a fair bit less subtle.

  8. These cocktail videos all scream to me "DON"T BUY THE BOOK!" This is all way too over done for making a cocktail. I don't want a cocktail 3 months from now – the approximate time it will take the gather all the strange ingredients, make the concoction, then remember why I went though all that hassle. Whoever thought this book/series was a good idea needs fired from ATK.

  11. I love a Manhattan with Wild Turkey 101 Rye whiskey and really great maraschino cherries. I had been looking for a better quality vermouth than I can find in the liquor store, and I had given up until I found this video. I can’t wait to make this! Thank you so much.
