Temperature and dilution
Dry vermouth gives less sweetness and body than rosso. Enough dilution keeps the drink lean without letting the edge turn raw.
What does properly diluted mean?
Proper dilution means enough water from melting ice to soften the alcohol without making the drink taste thin. Stir with ice and taste as you go: the drink should be cold, with less alcohol burn and plenty of flavour. Timing varies with your ice.
With no ice in the serving glass, there’s no further dilution after pouring. Finish chilling and diluting the drink in the mixing glass before straining. A chilled serving glass helps keep it cold.
