DOW: Salome

We ran out of Campari this week, and since we really enjoy a Negroni, we thought it might make sense to substitute Dubonnet for Campari. We did a quick search and found a recipe for a Salome, named after the famous biblical character, we hope.

• 1/2 oz gin
• 1/2 oz vermouth (sweet or dry, depending on your taste)
• 1/2 oz Dubonnet

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Shake well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of orange, if you wish.

The original recipe we found calls for sweet vermouth, but some variations of this list dry vermouth, and having tried both, I do prefer the dry, although both are very good.
