DOLIN VERMOUTH DE CHAMBERY ROUGE, France

I’ve been using this in my Negronis and the balance of herbs from the French Alps is just perfect—smooth without being too sweet. The subtle spiciness really lifts the cocktail.

The herbal notes are exactly what I look for in a vermouth—subtle but present, with that alpine character coming through nicely. It's become my go-to for a gin-based cocktail, and the balance means I don't have to fuss with extra bitters.

I opened this bottle for a simple spritz and ended up sipping it neat over ice—it's that smooth. The Alpine herb blend comes through as subtly spicy, not bitter, and it's easily become my go-to for balancing lighter cocktails.
