Don't Have Lillet? Make your own Homemade Bianco Vermouth

If you're having a hard time finding Lillet Blanc where you live, or you just want to make your own homemade bianco vermouth, I’m sharing my recipe that can substitute Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Blanco in your next Vesper, Negroni Bianco, El Presidente, or the Gentleman’s Health 😉. This episode is also special since both Robi (the director) and I celebrate our birthdays! The homemade bianco vermouth is my present to him and he again surprised me with a present, just like last year. Nice guy, right? He also made a birthday twist on the Gentleman’s Health, check out the recipe below.
