Tips
From Jack Grohusko's 1908 "Jack's Manual" — one of the great pre-Prohibition classics Amer Picon is hard to find outside France; Amaro CioCiaro or Bigallet China-China are excellent substitutes This is essentially a Manhattan riff with dry vermouth — perfect for those who find Manhattans too sweet
