Episode 95: The Enduring Beauty of Vermouth, with Alf del Portillo, Marta Premoli, and Francesco Lafranconi

Vermouth is an essential ingredient in both classic and contemporary cocktails. For this episode, we talk with three bartenders about the many reasons vermouth fascinates them and factors into their work: Alf del Portillo and Marta Premoli, owners of Quattro Teste in Lisbon, Portugal, and Francesco Lafranconi, who helped establish the vermouth program at the Rosevale Cocktail Room in New York City.
