THE FOUNDATIONAL WINERY OF LA RIOJA

VERMUT EXTRA DRY

  • This amber vermouth is reminiscent of fino sherry. Sweet, oxidized aromas – vanilla, baked apple, nutmeg. The palate opens tart and sharp; a hint of salinity makes the mouth water. toasted almond and ginger emerges on the crisp exhale.

  • 50/50 Martini: 1.5oz gin or vodka, 1.5oz Lacuesta Vermut Extra Dry, 2 dashes bergamot or orange bitters. Stir over ice and strain into a coupe. Lemon twist.

    Rosita: 1.5oz tequila, 1/2oz Rinomato Bitter or similar, 1/2oz Lacuesta Vermut Extra Dry, 1/2 Lacuesta Vermut Rojo, 1 dash aromatic bitters. Stir over ice and strain into a rocks glass. Orange peel.

VERMUT BLANCO

  • This pale gold vermouth mixes gentle chamomile and mint aromas. The palate is lightly sweet, fruity and complex: ripe apple and pear lead into a citrusy midpalate, braced up with mild, herbal bitterness. Sip or mix.

  • San Sebastian Spritz: 2oz Lacuesta Vermut Blanco, 2 dashes orange bitters. Build in a glass and then top with dry sparkling wine and splash of sparkling water. Grapefruit wedge.

    Haro Highball: 3oz Lacuesta Blanco, 3-4oz of your favorite flavored seltzer water (we like grapefruit). Build in glass. Orange peel.

VERMUT ROJO

  • Expect a nut-brown hue and nearly neutral aroma. The palate is quite bold, with lots of bittersweet fruit, ranging from plum flesh and skin to cranberry and dried fig. The exhale shows fresh cherry and a tinge of espresso. Mix into Negronis.

  • Negroni Sbagliato: 1oz Lacuesta Vermut Rojo, 1oz Rinomato Bitter or similar, top with 2oz dry sparkling wine. Stir first two ingredients over ice. Build in sparkling on top in a glass. Lemon twist.

    Adonis: 2oz Oloroso sherry, 1oz Lacuesta Vermut Rojo, 2 dashes orange bitters. Stir over ice. Serve in coupe with lemon twist.

VERMUT RESERVA

  • As if a cross between sweet vermouth and Sherry. The result of seven months in Acacia barrels is a distinctly nutty palate that bounces between walnut dryness and pecan richness, finishing with a soft brush of cocoa and a dried-herb exhale.

  • In a rocks or highball glass pour vermouth over ice. Add a wedge or wheel of grapefruit and a sprig of fresh rosemary or mint. If sitting in the sun, freshen the drink up with a splash of tonic or sparkling water.
