Definicja i Znaczenie "vermouth"

What is "vermouth"?

Vermouth is a type of fortified wine that is flavored with a blend of botanicals, including herbs, spices, and roots. The wine is typically fortified with a neutral spirit, such as brandy, and then infused with the botanicals, which can include ingredients like wormwood, coriander, and chamomile. Vermouth comes in two main types: sweet vermouth, which is red in color and has a sweet, fruity taste, and dry vermouth, which is white or pale yellow in color and has a crisp, dry taste. Vermouth is a versatile ingredient in cocktails and is commonly used in classics like the Martini and the Manhattan, as well as in newer creations like the Negroni. It is also enjoyed on its own as an aperitif and is often served over ice with a twist of citrus or a splash of soda water.
