Sweet Vermouth

Sweet vermouth is a fortified, aromatized wine with rich herbal, floral, and subtly bitter notes balanced by a mild sweetness. It’s a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Negroni, where it adds depth and complexity. The blend of botanicals and slight viscosity makes it ideal for pairing with strong spirits like whiskey or gin. Its balanced profile allows it to complement both bold and lighter ingredients, making it essential in many stirred and spirit-forward cocktails. It might be called "Red Vermouth" but it refers to the same type of fortified wine that is flavored with various botanicals and sweetened to create a rich, aromatic profile. The term "red" typically describes its color, which can range from deep amber to a reddish-brown hue.
