Aperitif

Vermouth (or Vermut as it is called in Catalunya) has taken Spain by storm in recent years. A fabulous blend of wine, herbs, fruit and botanicals, it is the perfect aperitivo. This one is a real stonker. Made by Casa Mariol, one of Catalunya’s funkiest bodegas, it is fresh, vibrant, light herbaceousness with a touch of citrus zing. Perfect over ice, a squeeze of orange, and (if you must) a small dash of soda.
