Door 74

Vermouth can be a hard sell for our less-cocktailian friends; many folks have only had foul-tasting, oxidized stuff from dusty bottles well past their expiration. If you’re looking to win people over to the magic of vermouth, you could do worse than the Door 74, a beautiful ruby gem from Ted Gallagher at Boston’s Deep Ellum.
