I use Punt e Mes as well, but I thought it *was* a vermouth?

My old man taught me 50 years ago to substitute Punt e Mes for the vermouth. In Italy this variant is called a "Milano Torino". Try it!

Fig is by far one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Great, distinctly low country food, not pretentious. If you go, this should be your first restaurant to visit. Yea, Husk is good too, but Fig is my favorite.

Wow--they take their cocktails seriously! Charleston bumps up a few places on my "must go" list now. Thanks for the tip.
