  • I've attempted the Algonquin many times over a 12-yr period... and I never "got" it. Now that the vermouth game is finally afoot here in the States, preparing this cocktail with Blanc/Bianco makes SO MUCH SENSE!
  • An unexpected delight! I would never have guessed this combination of ingredients could taste so good. We used Dolin Blanc as our vermouth and I think that really helped. I can't imagine this with regular dry vermouth. This will be a must anytime we have fresh pineapple in the house.
  • Spot on. Tried it both ways - the Bianco version is a major step forward from the 'classic' recipe. It's definitely with trying, and probably coming back to, but personally I am not sure any Rye + pineapple juice is the base for a 5* cocktail so far as my palate is a judge. But I wouldn't back my palate against yours, so you have try it, otherwise you will end up just concentrating on Negroni or Manhattan and their derivatives, which is not the worst default position!
