Punt E Mes Red Vermouth

75cl / 16.00% - A classic red vermouth created by Carpano all the way back in 1870, Punt E Mes was actually named after a stock broking term? Punt E Mes translates to a point and a half, and at the end of a day stock brokers would enter the Carpano bar and ask for exactly that (but this also happened on a day when key stocks had fallen by one and a half points). So, the link was made and the drink was named as such after they all had a good laugh about it (we assume).The vermouth contains quinine, which adds to the lovely bitterness, alongside 10 other herbs and spices. The result is a superbly balanced and herbal flavour. A great addition to many a cocktail.
