Aperitifs & Digestivos Reviews

La Quintinye Vermouth Royal Rouge
96 points
$23
Best Buy
More of an incredibly delicious after dinner drink than an aperitif but this will also be fantastic in Negronis and Manhattans.

Regal Rogue Lively White Dry Vermouth

$19
Best Buy
Sweet citrus and jasmine tea lead on the nose; this would make an excellent white Negroni or is well-suited to stand alone.

Sip on its own or use in cocktails to add a red berry and sweet orange component.

A well executed Vermouth with an almost candied finish; would work well on its own or in a cocktail.

Amistà Dry Vermouth
93 points
$60
Very versatile and will suit all classic uses as well as being of high enough quality to enjoy on its own.
Vya Whisper Dry Vermouth
89 points
$24
Floral and citrus forward, easy on the bitterness; this will make a lovely chilled apéritif, and a good mixer for those that like a milder Martini.
Vya Extra Dry Vermouth
88 points
$24
Floral and a bit savory on the nose with structure and a bit of bitterness on the finish; a very nice Martini companion.
