Sweet vermouth and Italian red bitters give this gin and tonic an Italian twist that’s both refreshing and complex.
Here we’ve used Cappelletti, an Italian red bitter and wine-based aperitif. Since Cappelletti is made from wine instead of spirit, it has a sweet, herbal, and well-rounded flavor that’s more intense than Aperol but not quite as bitter as Campari.
