Our third and final cocktail is the Fabiola. This is a Metropolitan variant which replaces the sweet vermouth with a white vermouth and adds the orange and brandy liqueur Grand Marnier, which elevates this cocktail to a different level.

I’ve seen a few recipes online talking about the vermouth in the Fabiola and listing sweet vermouth as an ingredient and in the detail saying to use a “more delicate sweet vermouth like Cinzano Bianco”, but Cinzano Bianco is a white vermouth, not a sweet one. It’s easy to tell a sweet vermouth from a white, as the sweet is dark red in colour whereas the white is clear (and looks just like a dry vermouth).
