UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWEET AND DRY VERMOUTH

 If your basic cocktail recipe was a party, it would work something like this: a bottle of gin, tequila, or whiskey actually throws the party; big-mouth guests like Campari, mint, and Absinthe make a lot of noise around the karaoke machine; and bottles of vermouth — dry and sweet — bring a bunch of snacks but end up hanging out quietly on the couch for most of the night. A reliable guest, but no party animal.
