I’ll be honest — I never drank martinis. They always seemed a little too strong, a little too dry, and just not my thing. That all changed when I discovered Lustau Vermut, and now I can say with confidence — it’s a game changer!
What makes Lustau Vermut so special? It’s not your typical vermouth. This one is dry and crafted from Manzanilla Sherry, produced by Lustau in the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain.
Manzanilla is a form of sherry made from Palomino grapes and aged under a veil of flor — a natural layer of yeast that gives it its signature fresh, dry, slightly saline character. Exclusively produced by the sea, it’s the most delicate and refined of all sherry styles.
That coastal freshness carries through into Lustau Vermut, giving your martini a clean, crisp lift — but what truly sets it apart is the blend of botanicals that add complexity and excitement:
🌿 Marjoram – Herbaceous with citric and balsamic notes
🌼 Chamomile – Aromatic and delicately bitter
🌿 Wormwood – Adds a touch of classic vermouth bitterness
🍊 Orange Peel – Brings brightness, citrus, and a refreshing finish
Together, these ingredients create a vermut that’s layered, aromatic, and perfectly balanced — transforming a traditional martini into something far more exciting.
My Game Changer Martini is simple, elegant, and perfectly balanced:
🍸 3 oz Grey Goose Vodka
🍸 A splash of Lustau Dry Vermut
Shake, strain into a chilled martini glass, and garnish with a lemon twist or olive. The result? A martini that’s fresh, smooth, and absolutely captivating.
If you’ve never been a martini drinker, Lustau Vermut might just change your mind. It certainly did for me.
