Am thinking of investing in a bottle of dolin blanc. Any idea how long it lasts once opened? I am assuming since it's a wine base it needs to be refrigerated after opening?

I opened my bottle a few months ago and it's still fine. I keep it in the fridge.

Tonight I made a blanc vermouth variant of the Daiquiri (or Floridita) that I thought employed the Dolin Blanc well:

Garcini Daiquiri

2 oz El Dorado 3 year white rum

1 oz Dolin Blanc vermouth

1/2 oz Luxardo Maraschino

1/2 oz lime juice

1/2 oz pineapple juice

Shake, serve in old fashioned glass.

The ED3 and Dolin Blanc seem made for each other.

Cocchi Americano or Lillet Blanc, though they're imperfect substitutes—the Cocchi bitterer and more assertive, the Lillet sweeter and less herbal.

Damn. Don't have either of those. Would a 1:1 mix of Noilly Prat Dry and Punt e Mes be a disaster in this drink?

Very possibly! A mix of dry vermouth and simple would be closer, but Punt + dry vermouth sounds like it could be compellingly disastrous, and I therefore now command you to try that and report back.

If this works could it please be called Compellingly Disastrous? That is a dynamite name for a cocktail.

Rafa, I've never met you and yet I found myself compelled to follow your command. The results:

By no means disastrous, and actually quite delicious. It didn't taste that far from a negroni, which is not a bad thing at all, but the Fernet may have gotten lost. Admittedly, I'm not at all good at picking out individual flavor profiles.

Well that doesn't sound disastrous at all. I'll have to try it that way. Mhdousa, I still recommend making the original when you can—it's fantastic. And Czequershuus, I think we'll have to save that name for another drink.

Since drinks with dry and sweet vermouths are usually called "perfect", why not a "Perfect Disaster" or a "Perfectly Dismal Day"?
