Thanks a lot! Glad to hear you are learning from me. Cheers!

I have a bottle of Lillet Rose that I still haven't opened (my gf is French [Alsace region] and says Lillet is not very popular there), but I did open a bottle of Martini Bianco by mistake (I thought I´m opening Martini Dry) and it's probably the worst drink I ever tried. It literary tastes like a metalic-headache. But I am a huge fan of Martini Fiero. I recently bought 3 bottles on sales and can't wait to finish a bottle of Martini Rossso that I keep in the fridge since the middle of January. I developed my own version of Italian Americano, but I got a bit borred from that (and started exploring cognacs and brandies). But I look forward to see your video, I think vermuth based aperitifs are perfect for this season.

What a lovely video - heartfelt - so touching. I so enjoyed seeing how a blanco vermouth is made! Thanks so much Kevin! Your videos are first rate and I always come away with so much knowledge gained and I really appreciate that! I also get amazing thoughts on cocktails and variations! You are a master! 🙂

I didn't realize this is something you can do. I'm excited now. I love DIYing things. I just never thought I could *make* vermouth

I can't get Lillet where I live so this is perfect!

Hi Kevin. Infusing igredients with sous vide would be always on 60ºC? For infused syrups or spirits too? About 1 hour infusing its enough?

Hey Kevin, I wanted to ask your opinion on whether I should put vermouth (store-bought or homemade) in the fridge or just in the shelf to preserve its taste ? Because I see that you put gin to fortify the vermouth, does it mean that it is more shelf stable ?

still need to put it in the fridge, as yes it is fortified, it's still not fortified enough to be stable.

What made you add some wine before infusion and some after instead of just infusing all of it or just infusing gin?

@KevinKos

2 жыл бұрын

Since I used Sous Vide for the infusion the wine oxidized in the process and it turned brown and It loses some of the wine flavors. French vermouths/aperitifs are usually more "wine forward" than the Italian ones so I added some fresh wine to the end to regain the taste of fresh wine in the product. Thank you for the question and for watching my channel. Cheers!

Fill it up the way to the top and close it, so there is no much air. It can be stored like this for couple of months, bot rather use it before that.
