Why cooks start here
Vermut Casero belongs to the everyday cooking of Cataluña, where it is made often enough that nobody needs the recipe written down. This home version keeps the seasoning direct and the portions generous, the way a Spanish family cook puts it on the table.
Vermut Casero hails from the everyday traditions of Cataluña, where its preparation is so familiar that it rarely sees the confines of a recipe. Spanish family cooks embrace a straightforward approach, crafting this aromatic concoction with a generous hand, ensuring that it graces the table with warmth and abundance. The flavors meld the dry crispness of white wine with the rich depth of brandy de Jerez, sweetened by a touch of sugar. The infusion of dried wormwood and gentian adds a herbal bitterness, balanced by the citrusy brightness of orange and the warm spice of cinnamon. Served over ice with a few olives, each sip is a refreshing embrace of vibrant Catalan character.
