dry vermouth

Pale aperitif wine

Dry vermouth is a fortified wine flavored with botanicals—herbs, spices, and aromatics—that's drier and less sweet than sweet vermouth.

It's essential in classic cocktails: a martini uses dry vermouth, a Manhattan uses sweet.

Just a whisper of dry vermouth.

The bottle should be refrigerated after opening and used within a few months.
