Sweet vermouth

Sweet vermouth (vermouth rosso) is an aromatized fortified wine with a pronounced herbal bittersweet taste and a deep red to brownish colour. It is made from white wine adjusted with caramel, sugar, and a blend of herbs and spices, notably wormwood. It is a key ingredient in the classic Negroni, Manhattan, and Americano cocktails, and is also served on the rocks with an orange slice. In cooking it is used in sauces and marinades. Refrigerate after opening.
