About this product
The Birthplace of Modern Vermouth.
Carpano Antica Formula is the legendary Italian vermouth that started it all, crafted with a secret blend of herbs, spices, and sweet botanicals since 1786. Rich, complex, and elegantly balanced, it’s a cornerstone of classic cocktails and an indispensable staple for discerning drinkers. Ireland’s cocktail culture has embraced this premium vermouth for its authentic flavour and versatility, making it a favourite ingredient behind the bar and at home.
Why we love it:
With its deep amber hue and richly spiced aroma, Carpano Antica Formula offers an indulgent taste experience. Layers of vanilla, dried fruit, and warm spices mingle perfectly with a hint of bitterness, creating a vermouth that’s both luxurious and approachable. It elevates any cocktail or can be savoured simply over ice with a twist.
