8 cocktails made with gin and vermouth

For those familiar with cocktail making, vermouth has long been a bar staple. However you’d be forgiven for not knowing how best to use this alcoholic beverage.

The fortified wine comes in many forms, each flavoured with herbs and spices to add extra flavour to cocktails and mixers. The two main styles of vermouth are dry vermouth, which adds a light, floral twist. And sweet vermouth, a richer, red Italian wine that’s sweet, spiced and herby. The natural flavours of both are what work so perfectly with gin.

From the iconic Martini to a timeless Negroni, gin and vermouth have inspired many classic gin cocktails. But there’s also new ways to mix up these two delicious liquids.

Here we share our favourite recipes for gin and vermouth drinks.
