Vermouth is a wine that is diluted with alcohol and sugar. Extracts of various plants are added to it, wormwood is a mandatory component. The composition of the martini is kept secret, but it is known that all the additives in it are of vegetable, natural origin. It is interesting that white wine is the basis of all types of martini, therefore, coloring agents are present in the composition of red and pink drinks. In an ordinary white martini, of course, there are no dyes.
