Carpano Antica Vermouth 375ml

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the cocoa and cinnamon notes come through, giving it a warmth that works perfectly with a splash of soda. This 375ml bottle is just the right size for trying it out without committing to a full liter.

The herbal licorice and fig depth makes this the perfect Manhattan base, but I’ve been enjoying it over a single ice cube with a twist of orange. The cinnamon warmth lingers just enough to keep you coming back for another sip.

I’m two cocktails in and the figs and cinnamon make this taste like a dessert that also happens to be a drink. The 375ml bottle is the perfect size for my home bar, since I never go through a full liter fast enough. Wish I’d tried this sooner.
