Questions about Dry vermouth

How do you use dry vermouth in a martini?

Stir gin and dry vermouth with plenty of ice, then strain into a chilled glass. A five-to-one gin-to-vermouth mix makes a classic dry martini; finish with an olive or a strip of lemon peel.

Can you use dry vermouth in cooking?

Yes. Add a splash to the pan after frying chicken or fish, scrape up the browned bits and let it bubble briefly before adding stock or cream for a quick sauce.

What can you use instead of dry vermouth in a recipe?

Use dry white wine, ideally with a small pinch of thyme or a strip of lemon peel to bring in some of vermouth’s herbal character. For a dish where you want no wine, use stock with a little lemon juice.

How should you store an opened bottle of dry vermouth?

Seal it tightly and keep it in the fridge. Its herbal aromas fade after opening, so it is best used within about a month.

Is dry vermouth the same as dry white wine?

No. Dry vermouth is wine flavoured with herbs and other botanicals, and fortified with spirit; it tastes more aromatic and usually has a higher alcohol content than ordinary dry white wine.

Is dry vermouth lower in energy than dry white wine?

No: dry white wine has about 68 kcal per 100 g, compared with 118 kcal per 100 g in dry vermouth.

What food goes well with dry vermouth?

Serve it chilled as an aperitif with olives, salted almonds or smoked salmon blinis. The savoury, herbal taste also works well alongside salty nibbles.
