Instructions
Step 1
Vermouth is not a drinking drink. It is not customary to drink it with meals. Most often, vermouth is used as an aperitif or for dessert with fruit. This alcoholic drink is drunk in cocktails or in pure form.
Step 2
Eating vermouth stimulates appetite and improves mood. Professional tasters drink it not in pure form, but with ice or water. This way you can better feel the aroma of this drink.
Step 3
White vermouth is usually cooled to a temperature of 10-15 ° C before serving. Too warm or cold wine loses its exquisite taste. As for red vermouth, it can be served at room temperature. In addition, after opening a bottle of such vermouth, do not pour it directly into glasses. Letting the drink sit for a while will improve its taste.
Step 4
Sweet vermouths are good both on their own and in combination with strong alcoholic drinks - vodka, gin, tequila, cognac, rum, berry and fruit liqueurs. In both cases, it is advisable to add a slice of orange or a little lemon juice to the drink.
Step 5
The non-alcoholic compound can be tonic, sprite, and orange, lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, apple, or cranberry juice. Harmonious combination for Rosso and Rose vermouth - cola and cherry juice.
Step 6
Salted crackers, almonds, fried nuts and olives are served as an appetizer to this wine. Rosso vermouth can be consumed with an orange slice, strawberry or other fruit. Some gourmets prefer to drink vermouth while eating mild cheeses.
Step 7
It is customary to drink pure vermouth not from the famous "triangular" glasses, but from whiskey glasses. It is better to use a glass for cocktails.
Step 8
Vermouth is one of the most successful and popular ingredients for cocktails. More than 500 types of cocktails can be prepared on its basis.
Step 9
Different types of vermouth can act differently on the human body. Drink an unfamiliar drink in small quantities, listening carefully to your feelings. It is better to drink vermouth not in one gulp, but in small sips.
