At Lucques, Barman Christiaan Rollich, who came up with the drink, uses Dolin dry French vermouth. You could swap out another brand of vermouth. Prosecco is a lively, sparkling wine from Italy. It’s a less-expensive alternative to Champagne and is an excellent mixer for cocktails, such as this one.
  • 1 1/2 ounces dry vermouth, preferably Dolin
  • 1 ounce Lillet blanc, (white)
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau
  • 1 ounce Prosecco
  • lemon wheel and orange wheel
  • Fill a small pitcher halfway with ice. Add vermouth, Lillet, and orange liqueur, and stir briskly until well-chilled. Strain into a stemmed wine glass.
  • Add a generous handful of fresh ice and top with a pour of Prosecco. Drop in a lemon and orange wheel, and serve.
