Carpano Antica Formula is not just a great sweet vermouth — it's the vermouth that invented the category. The heritage of this spirit dates back to the late 1700s, when vermouth was created by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in Turin, Italy, inspired by German aromatic wines. This recipe is a faithful revival of that original formula, and one sip explains why bartenders around the world refuse to make a Manhattan with anything else. It opens with an unmistakable bouquet of high-quality vanilla from Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and Tahiti, with spicy, citrusy, and dried fruit notes of almond, raisins, and cloves. Rich and enticing, it offers warmth through fig, dried cherries, spiced gingerbread, and a hint of bitter orange peel. Darker, richer, and more complex than standard sweet vermouths, it drinks beautifully over ice with an orange twist or anchors a Negroni, Vieux Carré, or the definitive Manhattan.
