Product Information

This is the Mexican beer version of a bloody mary, with no vodka and the tomato juice replaced with beer. Some versions also include tomato juice, but I’m not telling you that recipe out of a duty of care. The version found at liquor.com is more or less definitive, including Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, lime juice and Mexican lager. If you have a preferred hot sauce in the house, it’s probably worth a try. The Radlerita That being said, the old adage “simple is best” often applies to vermouth, and every bottle in our line-up is worth sipping straight up or topped with soda, citrus and plenty of ice for a spritz for all seasons. How we test vermouth

Owing to a resurgence in popularity, newer styles have emerged in the past century, including extra-dry, amber and golden. How to serve vermouth

Though the use of vermouth as a medicinal liquor waned by the end of the 18th century, herbalists still stand by the belief that wormwood helps to stimulate appetite and improve digestion, which goes to explain why vermouth – in its many forms – is traditionally served as an aperitif. What are the different styles of vermouth?

Shake the ingredients, minus the beer, with ice and strain into a large coupe glass with a single ice cube in it. Fill the glass the rest of the way with beer. The Michelada English pinot noir grapes form the base, which is infused with a medley of lesser-known botanicals, including wild cherry bark and yarrow. The result? An impressively complex drop with a full-on festive aroma, perfect for Christmas parties. 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'S FINISHING TOUCH COMES FROM A DASH OF FRUIT BRANDY. THE SCHLADERER DISTILLERY HAS BEEN PRODUCING FRUIT BRANDIES USING ONLY NATURAL INGREDIENTS SINCE 1844. Based in Berlin, Belsazar are throwing out the old-school vermouth rule book – and we love them for it.Belsazar White: A mild and sweet aroma with a hint of elegant vanilla. Clear notes of dried peach and orange are accentuated by the presence of herbs and spices. We asked a panel of 10 spirits experts and consumers to sample 34 white, red, amber and rosé vermouths to find the best bottles to buy right now. A fortified, aromatised wine, vermouth acquires its characteristically bittersweet flavour from a complex combination of botanicals (typically wormwood, citrus, orris root, clove, cardamom and aniseed, though modern distilleries are experimenting with more unorthodox aromatics – and delivering intriguing results in the process). A six-month oak-ageing process gives it a honeyed sweetness (not dissimilar to dessert wine) and unparalleled smoothness for sipping straight up. With notes of rich caramel, strawberry, mint and a hint of white pepper, this has a lot more about it than other rosé vermouths on the market; so much so, that it could easily stand in for a red vermouth in your negroni, bringing complexity in spades.
