Great information ladies! I did not realize that Vermouth can be a stand alone drink. I used to have both a sweet Vermouth and dry open at the same to make martini and Manhattans. Even with 350 ml bottles, I would end up throwing some of them away after about a month. Now I can drink the rest up on the rocks! However, it is unfortunate that Vermouth brands are limited in my area.

@BehindtheBar
4 жыл бұрын
Haha toasty! It’s definitely preferable, or at least in a cooler spot (a garage or basement?), just to delay the oxidation. The sweeter it is, the longer it will last opened and unchilled as the sugar and stronger flavours will mask the effects of the oxygen. So, a dry and delicate vermouth like Noilly or Dolin would only last a week or so. Lillet has more sugar and robust flavourings so will last a little longer- a couple of weeks out of the fridge but a month or more in the fridge. A big and bold vermouth like Antica Formula will be fine for a while because even when you start to taste those more raisiny, oxidative flavours they’re not necessarily undesirable alongside the rest of its flavour profile. But essentially it is the same rule as wine- cold will delay the ageing process. Bitters are totally fine unrefrigerated as they have a high alcohol content and are stable 😊

If it’s a dry Martini then there’s not too much vermouth in there, so I generally do stick to something crisp and clean like Dolin. There’s a great local one here called Maidenii, using a really good quality wine base and local botanicals so it’s more savoury and herbal- maybe you could look for something like that which has a stronger flavour?

Oooh that is a tricky one as most will go through the same fining process as wine which makes it not vegan- whereabouts are you situated and I can see what I can find?

@@BehindtheBar yeah it's a pain! I've been able to find out that the dry dolin should be vegan, and some vermouth brand called yzaguirre should be... But never heard of that one and some options would be nice to have, hehe. I'm in Sweden for what it's worth. (Pretty weird alcohol situation here as we have a monopoly on alcohol governed by the state, but that's another topic). Thanks!

I'm curious what you think about Cappelletti's aperitivo -- have you covered it before? Though it's an aromatised fortified wine, folks often describe it as somewhere between Aperol and Campari. I just picked up a bottle today, and I think it drinks much more like a vermouth (although maybe there's more of a gentian than wormwood note). It felt lighter than both Aperol and Campari (to me, Aperol is actually still very bitter, even compared to many red vermouths). So I think it'd be more suitable as a red vermouth sub rather than an Aperol/Campari sub. Would love your thoughts, if you've worked with it!

Cara is so great, I just really wish the music was turned down about 50% (or turned off altogether). I can't hear what they're saying. Whoever is mixing the audio needs to listen on headphones as well as studio monitors. It's just a bad mix.

new subscriber here 👋 loving your channel. just chipping in to say that 8:52 is *very* wrong. "amEricano" obviously _does_ come from american, it's the name of a classic italian cocktail (from which the Negroni later originated). "amAro" is a bitter herbal liqueur, as you explained in your 'home bar basics' video. apart from that minor detail, it was fun learning about different styles of vermouth from the both of you

Hello pal! Thanks for chipping in and nice to have you. We’re both right: www.cocchi.it/en/wines/americano/ Americano comes from ‘amaricato’ meaning bitter and the American habit of adding soda to their drinks (same as the Americano cocktail). I do think in differentiating Americano from other aromatised wines, the bitterness is really the main difference hence why we focussed on that 😊

Americano sits somewhere between a vermouth and an amaro in flavour profile.

Where does vermouth like Cinzano Dry sit on the scale? I ask because on the couple of times i've had Dry Martinis, they've been made with Cinzano, and frankly i find it smells and tastes like nothing that should ever make its way into my mouth. 🤢🤢 I've since used Lillet Blanc in my martinis, which i find delicious. Is Cinzano a bad vermouth? Or is vermouth just not for me?
@BehindtheBar

Lillet is a little sweeter and more rounded so helps take the edge off the gin a bit more, that could be it. It could also be that the Cinzano hasn’t been stored correctly (left out of the fridge or just open for too long) if you’ve had them in bars where they don’t make a lot of martini’s. Cinzano is fine but not the most exciting obviously, quite dry and a little herbaceous, so it could just be that you prefer the richer flavour of an off dry aromatised wine or something with more of a flavour punch in general 😊

Some better quality vermouths actually make a distilled spirit from the grapes as well but a lot just use neutral grain spirit.

I’ve only ever done it as part of a vermouth training session- in theory it’s definitely possible, as long as you can get a hold of some very high proof alcohol to fortify it with. But essentially it is just a ‘maceration’, ie. you can just leave your herbs and spices to steep in there and keep tasting until you like the effect. Just remember you’ll need some sweetness too!
