What is vermouth, anyway?

So glad you asked. All vermouth begins life as white wine. Then, in a fit of flavor and chemistry, the wine is aromatized with flavors from herbs, fruit, spices, and even bark. Vermouth is also fortified, which pumps up the ABV higher than “regular” wine.

You can drink vermouth on it’s own, or not.

Variations on the Verbona Blossom.

In the Verbona Blossom, the vermouth softens the gin and just works. You could add some muddled cukes to the mix, also, but I think that’s a bit of overkill unless you absolutely love cucumbers. They are so fragrant in this drink already.

Verbona Blossom Gin Cocktail with Cukes and Lemon

You can add more, or less, soda if you like. There’s not a lot of room for soda in the rocks glass. Using a Collins glass is an option if you want to dilute the gin and sweet vermouth just a bit more. Otherwise just topping your drink with soda works.
