# Fumata Bianca

Floral blanc vermouth and earthy Suze carry a restrained measure of mezcal through soda in Timothy Miner's gently smoky, low-proof aperitivo.

Strength: 14% ABV before dilution

## Ingredients

- 30 ml [Blanc vermouth](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/blanc-vermouth.md) — Use a true sweet bianco or blanc vermouth, kept refrigerated after opening.
- 30 ml [Suze](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/suze.md)
- 15 ml [Mezcal](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/mezcal.md)
- 45 ml [Soda water](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/soda-water.md) — Use very cold, highly carbonated soda water.

## Glassware

Collins glass

## Garnish

- Grapefruit twist — Express the peel oils over the drink and retain the twist.

## Method

1. Add the vermouth, Suze, and mezcal to a chilled Collins glass and fill it with cubed ice.
2. Add the soda water and stir once gently to combine without losing carbonation.
