White vermouth

White vermouth is a fortified aromatised wine flavoured with herbs, spices, and other botanical ingredients. It is made from white wine infused with plant extracts such as wormwood, coriander, cloves, or citrus peel. It comes in two main styles, dry and sweet. In cocktail culture, it is an essential ingredient in classics such as the Martini, Negroni, and Manhattan. It also makes a pleasant aperitif on its own, served chilled over ice with a slice of citrus. In the kitchen, it is used to flavour sauces, risotto, and seafood dishes.
