Vermouth
Vermouth is a fortified wine that’s flavoured with botanicals, most famously wormwood, along with a blend of herbs, spices and roots. It’s the drink behind countless classic aperitif moments, offering a gently bitter edge balanced by aromatic sweetness. The result is complex, sippable character that works beautifully before dinner or as a relaxed after-work pour.
In the glass, you’ll typically find a range of styles. Dry vermouth leans herbal and crisp, making it a natural choice for bright cocktails. Sweet vermouth is richer and rounder, often showing notes of vanilla, dried fruit and warming spice. Many bottles also include subtle citrus or floral hints, which makes them easier to enjoy than you might expect.
If you’re curious about how to use vermouth, it’s wonderfully versatile. Enjoy it chilled with a twist of lemon or orange, add a splash to spritzes, or stir it into your favourite builds for depth and balance.
Whether you’re new to vermouth or topping up your bar for seasonal entertaining, this range is a great way to explore the flavours that make it so enduring.
