If you live for a bubbly aperitif come summertime, Nashville wine bar Pont Neuf has developed a sparkling Vermouth cocktail recipe you'll love. 'A Night in Paros' calls for only a handful of simple ingredients — vermouth blanc, sparkling wine, olive brine, club soda, and an olive-citrus garnish. No cocktail shaker or fussy techniques required.
'The inspiration behind the cocktail is from my favorite small island in Greece, Paros,' says Pont Neuf co-owner Mattie Bush-Martin. 'We chose to add olive and brine as a nod to the olive trees there and with the thought that the drink itself would pair well with any Mediterranean dish.'
Kick off your next Mediterranean-inspired dinner party with a round of these, or make them the main attraction at happy hour, served with a spread of your favorite olives, sharp cheeses, charcuterie, and potato chips.
