Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use equal parts brandy and Madeira for balance; the 1:1 ratio lets both spirits shine without one overpowering.
Stir gently with ice for 20–30 seconds to chill without over-diluting; fortified wines are delicate.
Serve in a chilled coupe or small rocks glass to highlight the wine's complexity and aroma.

Substitutions

Mr. Boston Five Star Brandy → VSOP or XO Cognac (richer, more elegant)
Madeira → Dry Sherry or Marsala (similar oxidized profile, slightly different flavor notes)
Dry Vermouth → Bianco Vermouth (adds subtle sweetness and herbal depth)
