And I'd think it would also probably be better made stirred with ice, allowing for chilling and only slight dilution, and maybe cutting back on the bitters. But of course, the best way to make it is always to make it so it tastes good to you! I agree that Antica is sweeter than many red vermouths, however, I'm going for dry by upping the ratio of whiskey to vermouth to 6:1. Quite a few bars around here are going with 3:1 while using Antica. I continue to look for a drier formulation of a red vermouth.
