How do you drink Vermouth & Apéritifs?!
Basically, there are three ways to enjoy the apéritif/aromatized wine styles: Simply over ice, perhaps with a citrus peel garnish or a couple olives. Spritz! On ice, 50/50 with sparkling soda water and/or sparkling wine. Cocktails, the styles we make are staple ingredients in hundreds of classic cocktails. We've got loads of recipes here on the website and our other favorite resource for cocktail recipes is Difford's Guide. Enjoy!

What about Bitters?
Bitters are concentrated botanical flavouring, you can think of them as flavour modifiers for cocktails. Wherever you want a little kick of botanical flavour you can add them to cocktails or even in sparkling soda water. A dash of Orange Bitters in a Martini for example, really makes the drink shine. Or a few dashes of aromatic bitters in sparkling water is a refreshing and tasty delight.
