This explanation was exactly what I was looking for about vermouth. It is crystal clear. Thanks

Cocchi is my go-to for cocktails like Martinez, Manhattan, Negroni. It’s fantastic. I vacuum-seal it as opposed to refrigerating it (especially because the bottle is so tall).

It's a wonderful product. Vacuum sealing it is smart! Protect that precious juice.

Great primer on vermouth. I particularly like your version of the martini which I have been imbibing for several years now.

Vermouth is the French spelling/pronunciation. Vermut, your German word, is still used in Spain today. The Vermut culture in Spain is top class and is traditionally drunk before lunch. You go for a Vermut on your way to lunch. I love it.

The tradition of drinking vermut before lunch on weekends comes from the time where the families went to the church on Sundays -maybe it started in the late 19th century- and on the way back home they stopped somewhere for a quick "aperitivo" of vermut and some snacks. I only hope the kids were offered other options to drink!

Also from Carpano, the iconic Punt e Mes as a red vermut 😉

The best Vermouth I ever had was in Madrid from a very small bar home made vermouth can’t get in the US 🙁

A classic for good reason!

Martini and Rossi red vermouth has an extremely strong oregano/thyme note to it that I absolutely can't stand. It's also a very common house vermouth used in bars so if you've had a Manhattan or negroni that you didn't like, you might want to try a different vermouth next time.

That's definitely worth considering!

Great video, but as I have read, Red Vermouth is elaborated with a white wine base, and the brownish coloration comes from the caramel addition. Could you mention any example of a red vermouth that is made with a red wine base? Thanks again for the great explanation of all the concepts!

@liberandco

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, vermouth is such a broad category that there are some made with a white wine base. Our understanding is that rose and red vermouths are made with a combination of wine bases and it's not at all uncommon to see the caramel coloring added. I haven't come across any that explicitly say they have exclusively a red wine base, but if you find any let me know!

That's interesting and a good use for vermouth, especially if you're worried it's getting old.

I love your specs on Gin Martini, but I would say that it's not dry at all. Moreover it's a Classic Gin Martini 2:1 ratio. For Manhattan, Cocchi would be much better as Antica is very overpowering. Antica is fantastic to sip on the rocks, but makes very bad Martinez, Manhattan, Negroni, Americano..

@liberandco

All great points, we tend to agree. Cocchi is more mild compared to Antica. Both are wonderful products, but yes, Antica packs a punch.
