What Is Vermouth?

Vermouth is an alcoholic beverage made from fortified wine and herbs and botanicals to aromatize it. A neutral spirit is also used in the process to enhance the flavor and raise the alcohol content. 

Vermouth was originally developed in Italy in the 18th century for medicinal purposes. However, people soon discovered you can drink it and enjoy it as an alcoholic beverage. Vermouth is used in various cocktails, including Negronis, martinis, and Manhattans. Vermouth can also be consumed on its own. 

What Is the Difference Between Sweet and Dry Vermouth?

There are several differences between sweet and dry vermouth, including:

  • Sugar content: Dry vermouth contains very little sugar. Sweet vermouth has more sugar than dry vermouth, hence its name. 
  • Origin: When vermouth originated in Italy, it was considered sweet. Dry vermouth was created in France by Joseph Noilly sometime between 1800 and 1813.
  • Flavor profile: Dry vermouth has more floral and citrus notes and is considered more herbal. Sweet vermouth has hints of caramel, spice, fruit, and vanilla to lend to its sweetness. 
  • Color: Dry vermouth is generally a light color, referred to as pale vermouth, whereas sweet vermouth is usually a deep red to reddish brown color. 
  • Usage: Dry vermouth is usually used to make martinis, and sweet vermouth is used to make Negronis and Manhattans.
