Vermouth shouldn't be relegated to supporting roles in mixed drinks; it deserves a star turn. And it's hard to imagine an aperitif simpler, or better, than the Marianito, which is nothing but Spanish vermouth on the rocks, with a twist or slice of lemon or orange, and the satisfyingly salty addition of a green olive.

I have also seen this as a reverse Negroni with 3 parts Vermouth, one gin and one Campari and sometimes with the addiction of orange bitters. Shaken and dressed with green olives. My Negronis always have 3x gin which is why I dubbed this a reverse Negroni...
