Vermouth, a flavored fortified wine originating from ancient Greece, has seen a resurgence through dedicated vermuterias like Athens' Via Maris. Co-owner Jonatan Geisler highlights the local variations of vermouth, specifically Greek adaptations that use regional herbs for unique flavors. Besides serving as a base for cocktails, vermouth can be enjoyed on its own and pairs well with food. The versatility of vermouth allows for various preparations and infusions that cater to diverse palates, making it a beloved component in gastronomy and social culture.
Each country or region adds its own twist to vermouth based on local ingredients. For example, Greek vermouths like Vamma Del Sol often have light, herbal flavors like za'atar and oregano, giving them a unique Mediterranean vibe.
You can enjoy it on the rocks, mix it with soda for a refreshing drink, or pair it with food. It's great with snacks or a meal.
