Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Just use a good sweet vermouth like Carpano Antica.
  • I just picked up Carpano Antica after previously using Dolin in this and wow. It is so much better for this drink
  • Or maybe I just love S&C that much, bc I use it and that above ratio with antica (which may be why I like the higher ratio as that stuff is loud).
  • Its so good but so expensive in a boulevardier 😭
  • Carpano Antica is a really nice one too, but it may be a bit too intense for some people.

Cons

  • Both of these options forego Antica's vanilla bomb profile.
  • I don’t love Carpano Antica, but this is what D&Co call for here, and who I am to argue with genius
  • Carpano Antica - I can see why some people say it's their favorite. But to me it's too overpowering and a vanilla bomb.
