Dubonnet Red Vermouth

Dubonnet Red Vermouth is a timeless French aperitif known for its rich aromatics, balanced sweetness, and smooth, herb-infused character. Created in 1846, Dubonnet blends fortified wine with a signature mix of botanicals including quinine, orange peel, herbs, and subtle spices, resulting in a vibrant red vermouth that’s both refreshing and elegantly complex.

Perfect on its own over ice or as the foundation for iconic cocktails, Dubonnet Red offers layers of ripe plum, cherry, citrus zest, and warming spice, supported by gentle bitterness and silky sweetness. Long beloved by bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts, this classic vermouth remains a staple for its versatility and old-world charm.
