Weekend at last (had the whole week off, but there is a certain feeling about Friday) . I recently talked about Amari with the Ramazzotti which most of us agreed to is a brillant Amaro . Today however I want to talk a little about Vermouth, before mixing myself a delicious cocktail . Vermouth is a fortified wine flavored with certain spices and herbs, including tree bark, seeds and flowers and in Europe, wormwood. The best known examples are from northern Italy, as there are several large manufactures located in Torino in Piedmont. High quality vermouth is also made in France . There are red and white versions. White vermouth is most famously used in a classic martini, while red vermouth, which is generally sweet, is used in a Manhattan cocktail, among others. Equal parts of dry and sweet vermouth constitute a Perfect Manhattan. Vermouth, with its herbal ingredients, can also settle the stomach. A win-win really! . The Punt E Mes is one of my all-time favourite red vermouth. It has a dark brown color being delicate and filled with spicy aromas. It has a satiny, crisp, cloying full body and a very long cocoa, citrus, prune and mint finish . This vermouth works excellently in cocktails like Negroni, Americano and a Espresso Martini as well. Even try it on the Rocks . Now to the crafted cocktail . This is yet another Thecocktailblog12 - ORIGINAL©️ .
