Yes, vermouth, that dusty bottle of booze sitting on your bar cart (everyone has one of those, right?) that you never know what to do with. You know the story: You were watching Mad Men and suddenly \u003cem\u003ehad\u003c\/em\u003e to make a martini, immediately, so you ran out and bought a whole bottle of vermouth and ended up using about a tablespoon. Now the bottle’s been sitting there, ignored, for months – years? – wondering what it ever did to deserve such neglect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVermouth gets a bad rap, mainly because we know so little about it. It’s thought of as the stuff old Italian grandpas drink to settle their stomachs, or that sweet stuff bartenders slosh around willy-nilly, or the ingredient you only need a little of, ever. But vermouth is wonderfully complex, delicious on its own \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e the unsung hero of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/signature-seasonal-cocktails\" title=\"whatever cocktail\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewhatever cocktail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e you use it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re here to give vermouth the praise it deserves. You still with us? Here are the 5 things you need to know:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Vermouth is thought to have been invented in Turin, Italy, in the 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. Vermouth is the French pronunciation of the German word \u003cem\u003eWermut\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning “wormwood,” which was one of the main ingredients in the drink until its prohibition in the early 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. Wormwood was thought to kill intestinal parasites, so vermouth was first used for medicinal purposes until people started to realize that, hey, medicine tastes \u003cem\u003egood\u003c\/em\u003e. Soon, vermouth became popular as a key ingredient to some big time cocktails: the Martini, the Manhattan, the Negroni. Vermouth’s biggest moment in the spotlight? The 1950’s of course, with James Bond – “Shaken, not stirred.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Technically, vermouth is a wine that’s been \u003cem\u003efortified\u003c\/em\u003e (spiked with unaged brandy, which makes it slightly more alcoholic, but not enough so that it doesn’t need to be refrigerated and consumed within a few weeks – it is still wine, after all) and \u003cem\u003earomatized\u003c\/em\u003e (infused with botanicals like barks, roots, flowers, seeds and herbs like chamomile, coriander and juniper, which all add flavor and color).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. Vermouth is an aperitif, a word deriving from the Latin verb \u003cem\u003eaperire\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning “to open” (that’s about all we remember from Latin class). Aperitifs have a bittersweet character that gets your gastric juices going and thus “opens” your hunger, which is why it’s considered a before-dinner drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. It comes in two main varieties: dry white (what you’d use when making a martini) and sweet red (the backbone of a \u003cstrong\u003eManhattan\u003c\/strong\u003e or a \u003cstrong\u003eNegroni\u003c\/strong\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, are you ready to get some in your Mouth?
