Head to head
Fitzgerald and Ve.N.To side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have lemon juice. Only the Fitzgerald has gin, simple syrup and Angostura bitters; only the Ve.N.To has grappa, honey syrup and chamomile cordial. In parts, a Fitzgerald is 2 gin, 1¼ syrup and 1 lemon; a Ve.N.To is 3 grappa, 1½ lemon, 1 honey and 1 chamomile. By volume, the Fitzgerald is 46% spirit, 31% syrup and sugar and 23% citrus; the Ve.N.To is 46% spirit, 31% syrup and sugar and 23% citrus. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Fitzgerald is the stronger drink in the glass (12.2% ABV against 11.5%), but being smaller it holds about the same alcohol (1.05 and 1.01 standard drinks). The Fitzgerald has more calories (about 180 against 167) and more sugar (19.0 g against 16.1 g). Both are shaken and served in a rocks glass.
