The original did include orange bitters. I'm not so sure about whether or not it was made with French or Italian Vermouth. The modern obsession with making them as dry as possible dates to the 1950s. @Hunter - you are correct. The original did include orange bitters.

No, I just don't want ice weirdo. I ordered a Grand Marnier neat the other day and was asked if I was a bartender. No, I just don’t want ice weirdo.

(Asks the marketing fucktard:)If I recall, the original had sweet Italian vermouth and orange biters, but I could be way off base here. My personal favorite is the appletini - one part gin, two parts feltch juice stirred with a very limp wrist and served with a complementary shocker. There's nothing Utopian about tapas in my book, either. Tapas's right up there with dim sum on the overrated, pain-in-the-ass, chick food fads. Ordering tapas is slightly less fun than watching all 49 hours of The Thorn Birds with an emo date who won't put out no matter how many appletini & roofie cocktails you pour down her throat.
