Anybody Like Vermouth?

Sweet? The white may have a very slight sweet quality. I'm substituting it for dry vermouth and it absolutely MAKES a martini.

I recall Lillet being somewhat sweet, but that was years ago. Maybe they changed the formula?

I don't disagree that it can go well in a martini, but that's really a matter of personal preference more than anything else.

I'm open to anything, so I'll have to order a martini with Lillet in place of vermouth just to see. Maybe I'll be converted like yourself. When you say "The white," I'll assume you mean the original. I have a new drink order to fulfill!
