DO NOT Refrigerate Your Vermouth

Should you refrigerate sweet vermouth? Cocktail snobs say yes. Bartenders don't even know that it is recommended and leave their bottles on the shelf. But are they wrong?
I tested it over 10 weeks. Refrigerated vermouth, unrefrigerated vermouth, uncorked vermouth, and a bonus test of 9 month old refrigerated vermouth.

That's really interesting. Sugar content also preserves stuff, so I wonder what the results would be like for dry vermouth. In my own experience, I've only ever had dry vermouth go rancid when sitting on the shelf.

Good point. I haven't tried older dry vermouth.

@DrinkingWithTony absolutely, had both bottles of Noilly Prat dry vermouth and Punt e Mes sweet vermouth in the fridge for 9 months. The Punt e Mes was as good as it ever was and the Noilly Prat was vinergary and undrinkable

I had 1 liter bottles of M&R sweet and dry vermouth opened but not refrigerated for over a year. I just finished them this week and they were absolutely fine for my Manhatten.

Great video ! I think I'll replicate this at some point w/dry vermouth, as it smells off the quickest as some others here are saying. One note to add though - right now I have a ~7 months old bottle of Dolin dry in my fridge. I just made a martini with it, and I always smell it before pouring. It usually smells off, but then I always taste a small pour and it never **tastes** bad. I do wonder if the liquid that gets caught around the cap thread gets way more funky (relatively) because of the not-as-air-tighted-ness. Definitely did not ruin the drink, either. Just some food for thought!

An interesting video. It would be informative to see what a blind taste test revealed, particularly if you were testing bottles (possibly two of each age: one kept in the fridge and one in the room) which were one week old, a month old, and three months old, then repeated the test every month for several weeks to see what changes you could detect

@DrinkingWithTony Год назад

That would be interesting except these bottles aren't particularly cheap. Maybe with some Martini and Rossi. I do however still have these bottles and will try to do a quick update blind test in about a month.

@davidbeckett1565 Год назад

@@DrinkingWithTony That would be very informative

@sneezachoo Год назад

Curious if you thought to do the tasting blind or would in the future?

@DrinkingWithTony Год назад

I would have tried it blind if I thought there was a difference between the refrigerated and unrefrigerated. But since I couldn't tell the difference I don't think doing it blind would weed out any bias.
