Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. Which vermouth is best for cocktails? It depends on your taste! Red vermouth is sweeter and full-bodied, while white vermouth is lighter and more floral. Red vermouth is ideal for tart drinks such as the Negroni.
2. Can I drink vermouth neat? Yes – it's best served slightly chilled, perhaps with a twist of orange zest. An elegant aperitif!
3. What is the difference between dry and sweet vermouth? Dry vermouth contains less sugar and is often clear or white. Sweet vermouth is usually red and has a stronger flavor.
4. How long does an opened bottle of vermouth keep? About 1 to 2 months in the refrigerator. After that, it loses its aroma – so it's best to use it up and enjoy it!
