Belle of Ellis Island

Bright, aromatic and slightly sweet, this cocktail showcases dry vermouth's herbaceous backbone lifted by orange liqueur and bitters with a warm, rounded note from brandy. It pours a pale straw color and is served up with a lemon twist for a fragrant citrus finish. A balanced, easy-to-enjoy aperitif that feels both refined and approachable.
