Marianito preparado

Marianito is a popular vermouth-based cocktail from northern Spain. It is often called improved vermouth, and though the recipes vary, it typically combines sweet vermouth (vermut rojo), gin, Campari, and bitters. The drink is usually enjoyed as an aperitif or along with pintxos.

Marianito is prepared by combining all the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. The combination is then strained into a cocktail glass, and the drink is garnished with an olive and orange zest. Bilbao is often suggested as its place of origin, but it is not clear when and how marianito first appeared.
