Refreshing LowABV

The Addington is a low-ABV vermouth cocktail that blends sweet and dry vermouth in a two-to-one ratio, finished with a small splash of soda water for a light effervescence. At 12.58% ABV, it is an elegant and sessionable choice for aperitif drinking, emphasizing the herbal and wine-like qualities of the vermouths. The combination produces a nuanced, bittersweet drink with refreshing carbonation.

History & Origins

The Addington is a classic vermouth cocktail whose origin is disputed, though its format is consistent with late 19th and early 20th century drinking practices when vermouth was consumed more frequently as a standalone aperitif. The drink predates the dominance of gin and whiskey cocktails, reflecting an era when Italian and French vermouths were central to the bar menu. Its name may reference a person or place but no definitive attribution has been established.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Herbal and wine-like, with the sweet vermouth's vanilla and dried fruit notes alongside the dry vermouth's floral bitterness. Palate: A balanced interplay of sweet and bitter, with herbal complexity from both vermouths; the soda water lightens the body and adds a clean spritz. Finish: Dry and refreshing, with a lingering bitter-herb character.

Pro Tip

Use chilled vermouth from the refrigerator to keep the drink cold without excessive ice dilution, and add only a short splash of soda water at the end.
