2 minutes total
Makes 1 serving

a drink in Natasha David's Drink Lightly, this spritz combines the earthy fruit-and-spice profile of Spanish vermouth with the bitter orange and vanilla notes from one of Italy's favorite soft drinks, Crodino. The result is a border-hopping refresher perfect for la hora del vermut.
