Tincture-based vermouth

This is the first version of my sweet vermouth recipe using only tinctures, instead of boiled spices.

  • 500 ml Wine
  • 175 ml Brandy
  • 1.5 oz Oloroso Sherry
  • 1 oz Bitter Orange
  • 0.25 oz Sweet Orange
  • 35 dr Anise
  • 20 dr Clove
  • 35 dr Cardamom
  • 30 dr Juniper
  • 20 dr Dandelion
  • 35 dr Gentian
  • 35 dr Cinchona
  • 30 dr Wormwood
  • 8 oz Caramelized Sugar

Makes about 1 bottle.

I dumped a few ingredients to see if I miss them. I also included one new ingredient which, on first impression, I think is a great addition.

Amer DeHainaut batch #6

  • 8 oz Ramazotti
  • 6 oz Sweet Orange
  • 2.5 oz Bitter Orange
  • 2 oz Stirrings Blood Orange Bitters
  • 30 dr Cinchona
  • 30 dr Gentian
  • 15 dr Wormwood
  • 3 oz Honey (in 3 oz Water)
  • 1 oz Grave's 190

Makes 1 bottle

I increased the bitter trio by 25%, and reduced the alcohol content slightly.

I recognize that these recipes aren't all that useful to anyone but me. I'm mostly posting them for my own reference.
