Vermouth & Aperitif

Dolin Vermouth de Chambery Dry — Savoie, France 750ml

The benchmark of French dry vermouth — Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry Dry has been crafted in the Alpine town of Chambéry since 1821, earning its place as the go-to vermouth for discerning bartenders and home mixologists worldwide. Light, floral, and impeccably balanced, it elevates every cocktail it touches without ever overpowering.

The Producer

Founded in 1821, Dolin is one of the oldest and most respected vermouth houses in France, and the only producer still based in Chambéry — the historic heartland of French vermouth. Their Dry expression is made from a delicate white wine base infused with more than 30 Alpine herbs and botanicals, selected and blended using traditional methods that have remained largely unchanged for two centuries. Dolin holds the coveted IGP Vermouth de Chambéry designation, the only vermouth appellation in France.

Tasting Profile

Pale straw with a luminous clarity. The nose is delicate and aromatic — fresh Alpine herbs, white flowers, citrus zest, and subtle spice. On the palate it’s light, clean, and refreshingly dry with a complex yet understated botanical character and a crisp, lingering finish. Elegant rather than assertive — the hallmark of great dry vermouth.

Cocktail Applications

• Classic Martini: The gold standard — Dolin’s light profile lets the gin or vodka shine while adding essential complexity
• Fifty-Fifty Martini: Equal parts gin and Dolin Dry for a more vermouth-forward, nuanced cocktail
• Spritz: Over ice with a splash of soda and a lemon twist for a refreshing aperitif
• On its own: Chilled, over ice with a citrus twist — a classic French aperitif style
• Cooking: Adds depth to sauces, risottos, and seafood dishes

Perfect Pairings

Serve chilled as an aperitif alongside raw shellfish, oysters, goat cheese, pesto, or light seafood. Its freshness and herbal complexity make it a natural companion to delicate, clean flavors.

Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2–3 weeks for optimal freshness.

The sweet vermouth that built the Negroni and the Manhattan — Martini & Rossi Rosso has been the world’s benchmark sweet vermouth since its creation in Turin in 1863. This convenient 375ml half bottle is perfect for home bartenders who want freshness in every pour, gifting, or keeping a perfectly sized bottle on hand for spontaneous cocktail moments.

Deep cola in color, the nose is sensuous and layered — ginger, prunes, sap, and bark. On the palate it’s supple and sweet with an almost Sherry-like richness at entry, giving way to citrus and grape at midpalate. The finish is luscious and semisweet, with a lingering herbal complexity from its core botanicals: Artemisia, Summer Savory, and Dittany, balanced with exotic bitter-sweet woods.

Cocchi Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry — Piedmont, Italy 500ml

Released to mark Cocchi’s 130th anniversary, Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry is a landmark expression from the birthplace of vermouth itself. Labeled “Ricetta Piemontese” — Piedmontese Recipe — every relevant ingredient in this vermouth comes exclusively from Piemonte, reflecting a deep and uncompromising bond with the region.

The most elegant expression in the Martini & Rossi portfolio — Bianco Vermouth has been captivating aperitivo culture since its creation in Pessione, Italy in 1910.

Noilly Prat · Rouge Vermouth · Marseillan, Languedoc · France

Since 1813, Noilly Prat has been crafting vermouth in Marseillan — a sun-drenched village on the shores of the Étang de Thau lagoon in the Languedoc, where the Mediterranean climate and sea air are as much a part of the recipe as the botanicals themselves. The world's most storied vermouth house, Noilly Prat pioneered the art of outdoor aging: their base wines spend months in oak barrels under the open sky, exposed to the sun, salt air, and seasonal temperature swings that give Noilly Prat its singular oxidative depth and complexity. Their Rouge is a sweeter, richer expression — a blend of Languedoc wines infused with 20 hand-selected herbs and spices, including bitter orange peel, nutmeg, and gentian — that has been a cornerstone of the French aperitif tradition for over two centuries. At $18.99, it's one of the most versatile and rewarding bottles you can keep behind the bar.

Deep ruby-amber in the glass with an inviting nose of dried cherry, vanilla, warm spice, and a hint of orange zest. On the palate: lush and semi-sweet with flavors of ripe red fruit, caramel, cinnamon, and a pleasantly bitter herbal finish that keeps it from being cloying. Serve chilled over ice as a classic aperitif, use it to build a perfect Manhattan or Negroni, or simply enjoy it as the French do — with a slice of orange and a handful of olives.

• Producer: Noilly Prat (est. 1813)
• Style: Rouge (Sweet Red) Vermouth

Winemaker Description 

With a straw yellow colour, Yzaguirre Blanco Clasico Vermouth has an intense aroma with herby and spicy notes. Mild balsamic touches give it a pleasant and very unique structure. Fresh and smooth in the mouth and very well balanced, it has notes of vanilla and cinnamon.

Excellent as an everyday aperitif. Serve with 2 anchovy-stuffed olives, 2 or 3 ice cubes and a twist of orange. Serve very chilled.

Memo Summary Notes

The Yzaguirre Blanco Clásico Vermouth is a well-regarded example of the Spanish style of white vermouth, produced by Bodegas Yzaguirre, a house with a long history in the Catalan region (between Reus and Tarragona) dating back to 1884.

Yzaguirre's vermouths are made using traditional, artisanal methods and a blend of over 80 aromatic herbs and spices that are macerated (soaked) in a white wine base.

Cocktails: It works excellently as the Bianco/Blanc component in various cocktails, often where a sweet, less bitter white vermouth is desired:

• White Negroni (often with Gin, and a bitter like Suze or Luxardo Bitter Bianco).

• Martini variations (as a sweeter alternative to Dry Vermouth).

• V&S (Vermouth and Soda): Simple, refreshing, and popular in Spain.

Producer Description

With a deep yellow color, Yzaguirre Blanco Reserva Vermouth is highly aromatic, velvety and pleasant on the palate, with woody, herby and spicy notes reminiscent of ripe fruit. Its initial flavor is very tasty and balanced, in perfect harmony with its acidity. Twelve months in oak barrels give it consistency and character.

Great as an everyday aperitif or early evening drink. Excellent in a long drink with a few drops of Campari, 3 or 4 ice cubes, a slice of orange, a twist of orange peel and fresh mint leaves. Perfect for use in the kitchen to add another dimension to your dishes.

Memo Summary Notes

That is a great choice! The Yzaguirre DRY RESERVA Vermouth WHITE is a distinctive and highly-regarded Spanish vermouth, known for its unique aging process which sets it apart from typical dry vermouths.

The oak aging softens the vermouth and adds complexity that you don't find in stainless-steel-aged dry vermouths, making it excellent for sipping or mixing.

Winemaker Description 

This Vermouth uses a mixture of 26 aromatic herbs such as marjoram leaves, gentian roots, orange zest and others, which all together compose our family recipe. We then add a blend of different Pio Cesare white wines, including our Moscato d’Asti. After a 15-day maceration, the Vermouth obtained is aged in oak barrels for at least 4 months. The Recipe is finally completed with the addition of caramel, which gives our Vermouth its light color, and its distinctive aroma and taste. In order to better appreciate our Pio Cesare Vermouth, we recommend drinking it in the old “piemontese style”, sipping it with no ice, but just a little slice of lemon zest.

Expert Review

Robert Parker 90+ Points | The NV Vermouth di Torino is based on Chardonnay but is infused and aromatized with cloves, cinnamon, quinine, citrus peel, ginger, nutmeg, marjoram and other secret ingredients that were written down on a piece of paper in 1952 and kept under lock and key ever since. The folks at Pio Cesare did well to bring this traditional recipe for Vermouth back into circulation. This is an ideal aperitivo drink that can be served on ice with a slice of lemon. It opens to a bright orange-gold color and offers a complicated bouquet that recalls the many aromatic ingredients used in the infusion. The fishing is sweet, but not excessively so.

Emilio Lustau is one of Jerez's most celebrated bodegas — a house with over a century of Sherry-making expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality. Their Vermut Rosé brings that same Sherry-house precision to the world of vermouth, creating a distinctly Andalusian expression that is as beautiful in the glass as it is on the palate.

The Lustau Vermut Rosé Vermouth Jerez 750ml is a sweet rosé vermouth built on a blend of Palomino Fino, Moscatel, and Tintilla de Rota sherries — the last a rare, indigenous red grape variety from the Jerez region that lends the wine its delicate pink hue and red fruit character. The blend is fortified with neutral spirit distilled from 100% Airén grapes and infused with a carefully selected bouquet of botanicals: wormwood, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, and chamomile.

The nose opens with vanilla, thyme, oregano, cedar, and fig. On the palate, orange peel, strawberry, and rose geranium emerge alongside green cardamom and orange blossom, all carried through to a long, elegant Sherry finish. Serve chilled over ice with a slice of orange — or use as the foundation of a stunning Spritz or Negroni Rosé.
