History

Rosé vermouth offers floral notes to this rosé vermouth and fino sherry Martini, with amaro adding bitter complexity.

This cocktail is adapted from a 2022 recipe by Julie Reiner. Reiner revived Milady's, a vintage Manhattan dive bar that has been re-established as a cocktail bar at its original location at 160 Prince Street at Thompson Street, Soho. At Milady's, this signature cocktail can be ordered in a "cheeky" mini-size, a three-ounce pour (as described above), or as a larger "full-figured" serve.
