We need to talk about Vermut…
Vermut, historically, is big around here and is a variation of Italian Vermouth, it also comes in 2 colours, Blanco & Rojo and made the same with herby botanical ingredients, perfect to aid digestion.
Most recipes of these sorts of digestivo’s remain secret, all slightly different which makes exploring the experience a must.
Some say you drink this before lunch as an aperitif, others say afternoon is better?
It’s refrigerated and served with ice, often with a slice of lemon and with a couple of salty olives floating around. Sometimes you get a soda siphon to play around with but most times it’s just enjoyed neat.
There is another connection with French ‘Chartreuse’ but this will take further research…
In the meantime, enjoy some of the funky Say She She girls with a video featuring my old ‘Silver Shadow’!
Ah but can they make a Negroni?
