I wish someone would instead make/import a kosher dry vermouth that's also drinkable, as it's a key ingredient for 'real' martinis. (I refuse to call them 'unflavored' martinis, and the labelling of all those fruit cocktails as ___tinis is just evidence of a lack of imagination.) Right now, I either use my very short supply of kosher Italian vermouth a friend brought me from Israel, or the Hawkeye Pierce recipe: six parts gin, drink while looking at a portrait of "Lorenzo Schwarz, the inventor of vermouth." (A portrait of Antonio Benedetto Carpano, vermouth's actual inventor, is an acceptable substitute in a pinch.) Don;t we have enough fruity kosher liquerus?
