Coming Soon! ***Alexandrie Sweet Vermouth***

Alexandrie Cellars Announces the Upcoming Release of Our Sweet Vermouth

We’re thrilled to share something new, sophisticated, and endlessly versatile with the Alexandrie Cellars family, our upcoming release of Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth.

Known for elegance and celebration through our sparkling wines, we’re expanding into the world of classic cocktails with a beautifully crafted sweet vermouth designed to elevate your home bar and redefine your favorite drinks.

But first, what exactly is vermouth?

What Is Vermouth?

Vermouth is a fortified and aromatized wine. That means it starts as a base wine, which is then fortified with a neutral spirit and infused with a blend of botanicals, herbs, roots, spices, flowers, and citrus peels.

Sweet vermouth (often called rosso vermouth) is:

  • Slightly sweet
  • Rich and herbal
  • Complex with notes of spice, citrus, and botanicals
  • Deep amber or ruby in color

Traditionally associated with classic cocktails, sweet vermouth brings balance, depth, and a subtle sweetness that ties spirits together beautifully.

At Alexandrie Cellars, our sweet vermouth is crafted with a wine-forward foundation and layered botanicals, delivering a refined profile that’s both classic and distinctly ours.

Why Sweet Vermouth Belongs in Your Bar

Sweet vermouth is one of the most important ingredients in cocktail history. Without it, some of the world’s most iconic drinks simply wouldn’t exist.

It adds:

  • Structure to strong spirits
  • Aromatic complexity
  • A silky mouthfeel
  • Balanced sweetness without being overpowering

It’s also incredibly versatile, perfect for everything from bold whiskey drinks to bright gin cocktails.

Cocktails You’ll Love with Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth

Here are a few timeless favorites you can create with our upcoming release:

1. The Manhattan

Bold. Smooth. Iconic.

  • 2 oz Rye or Bourbon
  • 1 oz Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: Luxardo cherry

Stir with ice and strain into a chilled coupe.

The Manhattan is where sweet vermouth truly shines. It softens the whiskey’s edge and adds warmth and spice. Our vermouth’s herbal complexity makes this cocktail silky and balanced.

2. The Negroni

Bittersweet. Sophisticated. Timeless.

  • 1 oz Gin
  • 1 oz Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 oz Campari
  • Garnish: Orange peel

Stir with ice and serve over a large cube.

The sweet vermouth provides the bridge between gin’s botanicals and Campari’s bitterness. It’s bold, balanced, and endlessly chic.

3. The Boulevardier

Rich. Smooth. Perfect for cooler evenings.

  • 1 oz Bourbon
  • 1 oz Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 oz Campari

Think of it as the Negroni’s whiskey-loving cousin. The vermouth adds roundness and depth that make this drink both strong and refined.

4. Vermouth & Sparkling

Effortless elegance.

As a sparkling wine house, we couldn’t resist this pairing:

  • 2 oz Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth
  • Top with chilled Alexandrie Cellars Brut Sparkling Wine
  • Garnish: Orange twist or fresh herbs

Light, aromatic, and celebratory! This is the perfect aperitif for entertaining.

5. The Vermouth Spritz

Fresh. Bright. Low ABV.

  • 3 oz Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth
  • 2 oz sparkling water
  • Splash of citrus
  • Serve over ice with an orange slice

A simple and refreshing way to enjoy vermouth on its own.

Not Just for Cocktails

Sweet vermouth can also be enjoyed:

  • On the rocks with a citrus peel
  • In cooking (think reductions, sauces, or deglazing)
  • As a pre-dinner aperitif

Because it is wine based, vermouth should be refrigerated after opening to preserve its freshness.

A New Chapter for Alexandrie Cellars

This release marks an exciting expansion for our brand. Just as our sparkling wines are crafted for moments worth celebrating, our sweet vermouth is designed for the art of gathering for dinner parties, cocktail hours, and evenings that linger.

We’ve carefully balanced tradition with modern refinement, creating a sweet vermouth that is:

  • Elegant but approachable
  • Complex yet smooth
  • Perfect for both classic cocktails and creative experimentation

Whether you’re a seasoned mixologist or just beginning to explore the world of craft cocktails, Alexandrie Cellars Sweet Vermouth will bring depth, sophistication, and versatility to your bar.

Stay tuned for our official launch date, tasting notes, and exclusive release details.

The next great cocktail moment starts here.
