Combinación

sweet vermouth, gin, Amer Picon (maybe), curaçao (maybe), bitters (maybe)

The Combinación is not one exact drink, but rather a rough template with many small variations at the heart of Spain’s cocktail culture and affinity for vermouth, both of which are entwined and owe more to Parisian (and Cuban) mixology than to direct American inspiration. On paper, it looks a lot like a sweet Martini or some sort of Vermouth Cocktail, and it may circuitously derive from those, but the expression (and sometimes the ingredients) is Iberian.

We will add a sample recipe and related discussion, here, soon. —Ed.
