Merry Widow #2

Name: Merry Widow #2
Prep time: 3 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 0.75 oz Vodka; 0.75 oz Dubonnet® Rouge; 0.75 oz Dry Vermouth; 1 dash Orange Bitters

A balanced, aperitif-style stirred cocktail where the sweet, quinine-rich Dubonnet lends a rounded red-wine sweetness and gentle bitterness while dry vermouth and vodka keep it crisp and spirit-forward. It pours a warm ruby-amber color, served chilled up with a bright lemon twist and a whisper of orange bitters for citrus lift. Worth trying if you like refined, herbaceous cocktails that are complex without being heavy.
