Temperature and dilution

Antica brings real weight. A proper chill and enough dilution keep that richness lifted.

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.

Antica is made from white wine, despite its dark colour. Its vanilla is an actual ingredient, giving this vermouth a rich aromatic character to bring to Plymouth and Campari. That can make a generous middle while the bitter keeps its bite. Plymouth supplies its own botanical presence, so this is still a gin drink with a substantial wine partner. If you enjoy that vanilla association, it is a good reason to choose this particular pairing.
