Vermouth is a white wine, red or rosé, at high alcohol content, flavored with drugs and herbs (these are even thirty, including, cardamom, gentian, balm, ginger, vanilla, marjoram, hops, as well as absinthe, ingredient basic).

The name "vermouth" derives from the German Wermut, which means absinthe. In addition to being an aperitif, to be drunk neat or extended with soda, vermouth is part of the composition of many cocktails.
