Vermouth hasn't always played second fiddle to boozier spirits. In this elegant, low-alcohol drink from the early 1900s, a simple but fragrant mix of fino sherry, sweet vermouth, and orange bitters spotlights the fortified wine.

The Adonis is a classic cocktail that was created at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, New York after the 1884 burlesque show of the same name hit the historic milestone of five hundred showings. Similar to another vintage recipe called the Bamboo, it’s traditionally made with sherry, vermouth, and orange bitters but calls for sweet vermouth instead of dry and uses different proportions.

Immerse yourself in the timeless sophistication of the "Adonis" cocktail, a refined blend that exudes elegance and charm.
