By now, most wine lovers are aware of Malbec , the once-blending grape from southwest France that was catapulted into fame in Argentina. While Malbec has certainly benefited from this attention, the mass production of bulk Malbec has given it a reputation as a one-note, monotonous, “smooth red wine.” But there are an increasing number of examples showing the range Malbec is capable of outside of being plush or jammy.

One of the most difficult concepts for new bartenders to grasp is balance. Even if every ingredient in a drink is delicious on its own, when combined in the wrong quantities the finished cocktail can still be undrinkable.

Like amaro , it was originally touted for its supposed medicinal benefits before it became a popular aperitif, often served as a standalone sipper with the occasional citrus twist. Then, it got adopted by early cocktail culture in the late 1800s, where it has remained ever since. Despite its popularity, there are still many misconceptions about vermouth, one of the most common being that it’s some type of amaro or liqueur.
