How to enjoy Vermouth
Start exploring
Vermouth is a fortified wine, which means it has had a spirit added to it to increase the alcohol content, giving it a heat on the palate and making it last for a bit longer once opened than standard wine. Dry vermouth is famously used to make Martinis, whilst sweet vermouth, like ours, is used in cocktails such as Manhattans and Negronis – so you’ve probably tried vermouth before if you’re partial to a cocktail or two.
Vermouth is a very versatile drink and can therefore be enjoyed in a variety of ways. We also recommend it on itâs own, poured over ice, as the flavours are the perfect balance of sweet and savoury.
