Marion's Marionite cocktail
makes
1
"The Marionite is a go-to at Marion – particularly well-suited to an afternoon outdoors on Gertrude Street alongside a few simple snacks. It's based on a classic Italian cocktail called the Milano-Torino, a blend of bitter and vermouth, but the Marionite changes seasonally and usually incorporates locally produced spirits. At the moment it highlights the Bitter Tonic Vermouth Rosé from Outlandish Claims. Crafted by Brian Martin of Ravensworth in Canberra District, this is made from Nebbiolo that has aged under a veil of flor yeast (giving that Sherry-like saline tang), aromatised with fragrant and bitter botanicals. It's balanced by an equal part of Contratto Aperitif, a naturally flavoured and coloured bitter whose recipe dates back to 1935. We top it with soda and a wedge of pink grapefruit, but it's also excellent with a splash of Prosecco served in the style of a spritz."
