Dry vermouth (Vermouth Sec)

(Dry vermouth)

The origin of dry vermouth is mostly associated with France. This light vermouth usually has herbaceous notes and a distinctive dry finish. The examples of the style are typically clear, but some will have subtle golden hues. They can be served neat or on the rocks, but they are mostly used in cocktails.


The style was internationally popularized through cocktail culture, especially in the United States. Noilly Prat is probably the most important example of dry vermouth—and it is often considered as the original version that influenced the emergence of the entire style.


Although vermouth is mostly divided into French (dry) and Italian varieties (sweet or red), most brands nowadays include several vermouth types and are not entirely devoted to a singular style.
