Prestige Essences - Vermouth

Vermouth is an aromatized wine, made from a neutral, dry white basic wine which is then blended with an infusion. The infusion, which gives each vermouth its unique and distinctive character, is created by flavoring the basic wine with a special selection of herbs, flowers, fruit peels, seeds, plants and other botanicals. The addition of brandy fortifies the vermouth to 18% alcohol by volume.

Vermouth Dry

A straw coloured vermouth with a sharper perfume, it reveals raspberry, lemon and the subtler hints of iris. This aromatic wine is dry without being bitter, with a white wine base it allows the aromas to come alive in the glass.

How to make a perfect Dry Martini Cocktail

A modern martini is made with two and one half parts gin and a half part dry vermouth, stirred with crushed ice and then strained into a chilled cocktail glass, and served "straight up" (without ice), though other recipes may be used. The drink is usually garnished with an olive, or sometimes with lemon rind (a twist), and less often with cocktail onions or capers. Note that, to a cocktail purist, a "martini" with onions instead of olives is a Gibson, and each other change in garnish likewise requires a distinct name.
