Sweet Vermouth Cocktails

126 drinks · Updated October 2026

Sweet vermouth is a fortified wine flavored with botanicals, including wormwood, and sweetened with sugar. The red style developed in Turin in the late 18th century, which is why it is often called Italian vermouth. It contributes wine acidity, sweetness and herbal bitterness, linking spirits with other ingredients. The Manhattan combines it with whiskey and bitters. The Negroni pairs it with gin and Campari, while the Rob Roy uses Scotch whisky and bitters. Because vermouth is wine-based, an opened bottle belongs in the refrigerator.
