- 1720 ml Sweet Vermouth (Our favourite is Cocchi di Torino)
- 950 ml Water (to account for water dilution from stirring over ice)
- 150 ml Angostura bitters
- 150 ml Peychauds bitters
- Lemon peels for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Mix all ingredients in a keg, stir, close the lid (no need to pressurise the keg)

- Pour into a coupe glass, express lemon peel over drink, throw lemon peel in the garbage because Anthony says fruit is for sangria, Salute!
