Campari
Campari is an apertif, obtained from the infusion of herbs and fruits in alcohol and water. It is a bitters and has a distinctive red colour, which originally was a carmine dye, the crimson dye obtained from crushed cochineal insects, however use of Carmine has been discontinued since 2006. Campari was invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novara, Italy and is now owned by Gruppo Campari. Campari is bottled at 20.5% to 28% ABV depending on the country it is sold in. The flavour of Campari is bitter, spicy and sweet and is an essential ingredient in several classic cocktails like Negroni, the Garibaldi and the Americano.
Sweet Vermouth
Vermouth the French for German Wermut, Wormwood in English, is an aromatic fortified Wine, flavoured with various botanicals like roots, barks, flowers, herbs, seeds and spices.
Although traditionally Vermouth was used for medicinal purposes, it has been also served as an apéritif in its modern avatar. The modern Vermouth first appeared in and around the 18th Century in Turin. By the late 19th Century it became very popular with bartenders as a key ingredient in cocktail mixology.
Martini, Manhattan, Rob Roy and Negroni were a few cocktails that Vermouth grew in popularity with. But later during the 20th Century, Vermouth slowly lost its glory and Dry Martinis and extra Dry Martinis with little or no Vermouth gained over the original Martini. Modern Martinis usually have a splash of Vermouth to add that herbacious texture to it.
Historically, there have been two Vermouth types, Dry and Sweet, but with demand variations have come up now. that include extra-dry white, sweet white, red, amber and rose.
Vermouth is produced by adding proprietory mixture of aromatic botanicals to a base wine or a base wine plus spirit or spirit only, which is usually redistilled before adding it to a base of neutral grape wine or unfermented wine must ( freshly pressed grapes and the juice ). After the wine is aromatised and fortified. it is sweetened and the end product is a Vermouth.
Dry Vermouth is what makes the character of the original Martini, and a Dry Vermouth has less sugar and is more herbacious but less spicier than Sweet Vermouth.Vodka
