Vermouth Martini - Winnipeg, Canada

Vermouth is an aromatized fortified wine, flavored with various botanicals (roots, barks, flowers, seeds, herbs, and spices) and sometimes colored.

The modern versions of the beverage were first produced in the mid-to-late 18th century in Turin, Italy. While vermouth was traditionally used for medicinal purposes, it was later served an apéritif, with fashionable cafés in Turin serving it to guests around the clock.
