What IS Vermouth?

I’ll stick with IPAs.

I seem to remember that we have already gone through a Vermouth period, or at least speculation about one in the usual magazines.

I heard one of the “Two Fat Ladies” saying that she liked to have vermouth around for cooking because she was not tempted to drink it.

And there is the classic waving of the open bottle over a martini.

Vermouth is for making Manhattans by the pitcher. It keeps the bingo game lively.

There was a man named Sweeny, who spilt some gin on his weenie.
Not thought to be uncouth, he spilt some vermouth
And later slipped his wife a martini.

Vermouth sucks. It really ruins the taste of a good ‘martini’.

Learned about 35 years ago to just put the gin or vodka in the freezer. It wont freeze due to alcohol content.

Good drink only means pouring the very cold beverage into the glass, and perhaps spearing a few large green olives to add to the glass. ....No ice, so drink is not watered down.

Dry vermouth over ice on a hot summer day cannot be beat. Sweet vermouth and bourbon makes a fine drink called a Manhattan. Serve with a cherry.

Robert Raurk reported that after one African safari, he 46 empty bottles of gin and one half used bottle of vermouth.

[Fernet Branca]

Don’t believe the revolution is nigh? Go get yourself a bottle of Cocchi Americano.....You will believe.

The only reason people hate vermouth is because they have never had good vermouth or their vermouth has been sitting half-used in a liquor cabinet for the last 5 years.
