Already a vermouth enthusiast? Then you’ve more than likely spied Regal Rogue lining your favourite bar, as it’s fast becoming the go-to for professional mixologists, thanks to its unique, spiced flavour profile (cinnamon, clove, ginger) and lingering acidity. Trust us, your home negroni will never be the same.

Historically, two types of vermouth dominated: white (or bianco, which is characteristically dry, floral and popular in martinis) and rosso (or sweet red, which has a richer, herbal quality, making it a mainstay in martinis and Manhattans).Two friends, Max and Sebastian, the founders of Belsazar, shared a burning passion for regional wines from Baden, marvellous distilleries and exceptional recipes, along with a shared creativity nurtured on the streets of Berlin. Belsazar Red: An abundance of complex aromas. Vanilla, candied orange, bitter chocolate and spices such as nutmeg combine to leave a sweet impression, offset by a bitter hint of wormwood.

Using English wine as its base, this Welsh vermouth is rich, expressive and features a line-up of cold-distilled botanicals – truly distinct to any others on test. Ingredients: 50ml of Belsazar Rosé; 100ml of quality tonic water (we recommend Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water); a slice of grapefruit.

One for seasoned vermouth drinkers looking to break the mould, Casa Mariol combines a macabeu wine base and macerated local botanicals, before ageing in a traditional solera system for 6 months.
