Dry Vermouth is one version but, I'm pretty sure this is the version that was drunk during WW2 http://www.in-the-spirit.co.uk/cocktails/view_cocktail.php?id=124. Dunno if I would like either though. Gin and I had a bad experience once. lol

Sure the English had their 'Victory' Gin, the French had their 'Noilly Prat' Original French Dry Vermouth, but the in-crowd in France drank Absinthe.
