The Story Behind The Michael
This is a slightly easier, less dry cousin of the Martini. Yang scales the gin back just a touch and uses blanc vermouth instead of dry vermouth. He also adds a bit of Aperol and a dash of orange bitters to give the cocktail some citrus and herbaceous notes. A grapefruit twist garnish also emphasizes the citrus notes of the Aperol.
