how should you drink vermouth?
When it comes to vermouth, there’s no right or wrong way—it’s all about finding your moment. And that's the best part.
In Spain, tradition says vermouth is best enjoyed before lunch as a classic aperitif, and it’s hard to argue with a tradition that works so well.
But that doesn’t mean it’s limited to lunchtime. Vertmouth can be enjoyed anytime: as a midday pick-me-up, paired with food, or even as a key ingredient in cocktails.
If you’re drinking it solo, we recommend keeping it simple: a small glass or tumbler, served cold—with or without ice.
The idea is to let the flavors shine!
Pairing verrmouth with food
Vermouth’s versatility doesn’t stop with when to drink it; it’s also an ideal companion for food.
While classic pairings like olives and potato chips never go out of style, the options have grown to include everything from smoked cheeses to creative canapés.
Here are a few ideas to inspire your next vermouth moment:
- Simple snacks: Think breadsticks, flatbreads, or a mix of nuts.
- Tortilla and tapas: Spanish omelet or crispy croquettes (made with ham, spinach, or fish) make great companions.
- Cheese pairings: For softer cheeses, like a mild brie, try a lighter vermouth. For bolder flavors like blue cheese, a richer vermouth brings out the best in both.
- Cured meats: Serrano ham, chorizo, or even black sausage create a flavor-packed pairing with most vermouths.
- Seafood: Fresh or tinned options like mussels, sardines, or squid pair wonderfully with a good vermouth.
Endless possibilities
The beauty of vertmouth lies in its flexibility. Whether you’re sipping it on a sunny day at a terrace or with snacks or mixing it into a cocktail, there’s a perfect pairing waiting to be discovered <3
At the end of the day, it’s all about enjoying vertmouth your way.
Cheers!
