دولين فيرموث دي شامبيري دراي وايت (375 مل)، فرنسا

I was skeptical about a dry white vermouth, but this one's delicate wine base makes it incredibly smooth over ice. The herbal notes are there but never overpowering—perfect for a crisp martini.

I was blown away by how light and fresh this tastes compared to other dry vermouths I've tried—the Alpine herbs come through beautifully without being overpowering. Perfect for a crisp martini.

That herbal complexity on the nose translates beautifully into the glass—thirty alpine herbs give it a crisp, botanical lift that makes a simple gin and tonic taste twice as expensive. The 375ml bottle is the perfect size for my home bar, since it stays fresh before I can work through a liter.
