CLASSIC VERMOUTHS
MADE CLOSER TO HOME
BORN BEHIND THE BAR
Method Vermouth started at the iconic Union Square Cafe in New York City where founder, Cory Fitzsimmons, served as Head Bartender. The restaurant has long been a celebrated institution known for showcasing local producers of all types. Still, despite the abundance of exceptional breweries and distilleries, there were no local vermouths that could serve their necessary role in classic cocktails.
Realizing the need for local, sustainable options for this necessary bar staple, Cory left the restaurant and began a three-year journey of development before launching Method in late 2020.
PROCESS IS EVERYTHING
What came next was a rigorous process of blind tastings, first of individual botanical and tinctures, then of wines, trial recipes, and finally their application in cocktails.
Our community of bartenders and sommelier friends graciously served as test subjects as we tweaked and honed the specifics until Method was decidedly winning blind tastings against the popular, traditional brands. Method Vermouth is classic vermouth, just made closer to home.
OUR VERMOUTH
The result is two traditionally styled vermouths inspired by those used by generations of drink makers.
The botanicals sourced for Method Sweet are the same you’d find in classic vermouths from Turin, Italy, and the wines and brandy we use share the lineage and characteristics of those beloved vermouths.
Drawing inspiration from both dry and blanc vermouths from France, Method Dry is a delicate balance of fruit, florals, and savory herbs with a pleasant bitterness that makes it versatile for use in cocktails, spritzes, or simply enjoyed on its own.
