Vermouth Ingredients

Method

Vermouth Preparation

1

Infuse the Base

In a large glass jar, combine the white wine and neutral spirit. Add the dried wormwood, chamomile, lemon peel, orange peel, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Seal the jar tightly and let it steep in a cool, dark place for 1 to 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

2

Make the Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over low heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow the syrup to cool.

3

Strain and Mix

After the infusion period, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solids. Combine the infused liquid with the cooled sugar syrup and stir well.

4

Bottle and Chill

Transfer the finished vermouth into a clean bottle. Seal it and refrigerate. The Contratto Bianco Vermouth is ready to serve chilled or used in cocktails.
