About Sweet vermouth
Sweet vermouth is a fortified wine infused with botanicals, including herbs, spices, and roots. Originally from Italy in the 18th century, it is a staple in European cuisine and cocktails, such as the Negroni and Manhattan. Sweet vermouth typically contains added sugar, contributing to its rich, slightly bitter-sweet flavor. Nutritionally, it is moderate in alcohol content (15-18% ABV) and contains about 140-186 calories per 3.5-ounce (100ml) serving, depending on the specific brand and recipe. This beverage is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals, aside from trace amounts derived from the wine and infused botanicals. It does, however, contain carbohydrates primarily from sugar.
Health Benefits
- Moderate consumption of sweet vermouth may support stress reduction due to the relaxing effects of alcohol, which stimulates GABA neurotransmitters.
- Some botanical infusions, such as chamomile or gentian, found in vermouth may promote digestive health by stimulating bile production.
- The small amounts of antioxidants from the wine base, like flavonoids, could contribute to cardiovascular health, though limited due to the serving size.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store sweet vermouth in a cool, dark place before opening. After opening, refrigerate and consume within 1-2 months for optimal flavor.

Can I drink sweet vermouth on a keto diet?

Are there any health benefits of drinking sweet vermouth?
Sweet vermouth contains botanicals and herbs, such as wormwood and other fortifying ingredients, that have traditionally been used in herbal medicine.

How does sweet vermouth compare to dry vermouth?
Sweet vermouth is richer and sweeter, with higher sugar content, while dry vermouth is lighter, more acidic, and has less sugar (usually less than 5 grams per 3.5-ounce serving). Sweet vermouth is commonly used in cocktails like Manhattans, whereas dry vermouth is often used in martinis.
