The fir/Julia Hartbeck
Vermouth is a fortified wine flavored with various herbs and spices. It is traditionally made in two main styles: dry (white) vermouth and sweet (red) vermouth. Dry vermouth which originated in France is famously used to make martinis and is dry and floral. Sweet vermouth which usually originated in Italy is sweetly spiced and herbal and is used in cocktails such as Manhattans and Negronis. Dry and sweet vermouth are also enjoyed as an aperitif. Because vermouth is a fortified wine it has a slightly higher alcohol content compared to non-fortified wine.
Every vermouth recipe is slightly different although there are two main styles: dry vermouth and sweet vermouth. The two are generally used for different applications.
