Boulevardier (cocktail) The boulevardier cocktail is an alcoholic drink composed of whisky, sweet vermouth, and campari. Its creation is ascribed to Erskine Gwynne, an American-born writer who founded a monthly magazine in Paris called ""Boulevardier"", which appeared from 1927 to 1932. The boulevardier is similar to a Negroni, sharing two of its three ingredients. It is differentiated by its use of bourbon whiskey or rye whiskey as its principal component instead"
"Martini (cocktail) The martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth, and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist. Over the years, the martini has become one of the best-known mixed alcoholic beverages. H. L. Mencken called the martini ""the only American invention as perfect as the sonnet"" and E. B. White called it ""the elixir of quietude"".

"Roy, and the Negroni. In addition to being consumed as an aperitif or cocktail ingredient, vermouth is sometimes used as an alternative white wine in cooking. Historically, there have been two main types of vermouth: sweet and dry. Responding to demand and competition, vermouth manufacturers have created additional styles, including extra-dry white, sweet white (bianco), red, amber (ambre or rosso), and rosé. Vermouth is produced by starting with a base of a neutral grape wine or unfermented wine must. Each manufacturer adds additional alcohol and a proprietary mixture of dry ingredients, consisting of aromatic herbs, roots, and barks, to the"

When drinking vermouth by itself, it is normally an apéritif.

As previously stated, vermouth is an ingredient in the martini, one of the most popular and well-known cocktails. At"

After the success of the cocktail, the Negroni family founded Negroni Distillerie in Treviso, Italy, and produced a ready-made version of the drink, sold as Antico Negroni 1919. One of the earliest reports of the drink came from Orson Welles in correspondence with the ""Coshocton Tribune"" while working in Rome on ""Cagliostro"" in 1947, where he described a new drink called the Negroni, ""The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you.

"first, martinis used sweet vermouth. Around 1904, however, drier French vermouths began to be used in the cocktail. The term ""dry martini"" originally meant using a drier vermouth as a mixer, not using less vermouth, as the term is used today. Sharon Tyler Herbst's book, ""The Ultimate A-To-Z Bar Guide"", lists 112 cocktails using dry vermouth and 82 containing sweet vermouth. Cocktails using either dry or sweet vermouth or both include the Americano, Bronx, Gibson, Manhattan, Negroni, Rob Roy, and Rose. Variations of cocktail recipes using equal portions of dry and sweet vermouths are called ""perfect"", as in a ""Perfect"
