Drink Recipe

Balanchine's Belle

A lightly sweet, herb-forward aperitif that showcases Dubonnet Rouge's vinous, caramel-berry notes balanced by the crisp dryness of dry vermouth and a bright lemon twist. It pours a deep ruby-amber and is silky and stirred, with gentle bitterness and citrus perfume on the finish. Worth trying as an elegant, low-ABV pre-dinner sipper when you want something simple but nuanced.
