Reviewed ingredient substitutions

Dry Vermouth2.0 oz

Dry SherryWorks, with a noticeable change
How much to use
Use the same amount, then taste; the result will be less herbal and more savoury.
What changes
Dry sherry can replace dry vermouth when a drier, more saline and less herbal variation is acceptable.

Lillet BlancKnown variation
How much to use
Start with the recipe amount and taste; reduce it if the drink becomes too soft or sweet.
What changes
Lillet Blanc can stand in for dry vermouth in a Martini-style drink, but it produces a softer and slightly sweeter variation.
Vegan-compatibleVegetarian-compatibleGluten-free-compatible
Sweet VermouthNot a neutral swap
How much to use
Use only if a sweeter vermouth profile is acceptable.
What changes
Sweet vermouth is not a neutral substitute for dry vermouth; it makes the drink sweeter and rounder.

Bitters1 dash

Angostura BittersKnown variation
How much to use
Start with the recipe’s dash count and taste before adding more.
What changes
When a recipe says only “bitters,” Angostura is a common aromatic default, except in drinks built around another named bitters style.
