Vermouth - You Should Be Stocking it!
23 March 2023 - Inn Express
Vermouth is a fortified wine that has been a staple of the cocktail world for over a century. It is used in classic cocktails such as the Martini, Negroni, and Manhattan. Vermouth is a must-have for venues that take their cocktail offering seriously or want to improve their cocktail offering.
Why Venues Need to Stock Vermouth
Aside from its use in a variety of popular cocktails, Vermouth is also an ingredient that has a long shelf life, and it can be stored for a long time without spoiling. This makes it a cost-effective ingredient to stock in a bar or restaurant.
Serving Vermouth is a way for bars to show their commitment to quality and craft. It allows bars to distinguish themselves from other bars that do not take their cocktails as seriously.
Types of Vermouth
There are two main types of Vermouth, sweet Vermouth and dry Vermouth. Sweet Vermouth is made from wine that has been fortified with brandy and sweetened with sugar. It is flavoured with a variety of herbs and spices, including cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Sweet Vermouth is typically used in cocktails such as the Manhattan and the Negroni.
Dry Vermouth, on the other hand, is made from white wine that has been fortified with brandy and flavoured with herbs such as wormwood, chamomile, and coriander. Dry Vermouth is typically used in cocktails such as the Martini and the Gibson.
There are also some variations of Vermouth that are not as well-known as sweet and dry Vermouth. Bianco Vermouth, for example, is a white Vermouth that is sweetened with sugar and flavoured with a variety of herbs and spices. Rosso Vermouth is a red Vermouth that is sweetened with sugar and flavoured with a variety of herbs and spices. We also offer Rosé Vermouth, this style of vermouth can be described as semi-sweet vermouth, the best of both worlds!
