For a Martini lover who makes drinks at home, we’d choose our SCHOFIELD'S English dry vermouth (£26.95). We reach for it for the balance vermouth brings to the glass; it also won Gold at the World Vermouth Awards 2021.
A bottle is not the only option. We make and blend in South London, rather than distil, and our gifts suit different ways of enjoying a Martini:

How to Choose a Martini Gift
Start with how they like their Martini, then choose a bottle, a garnish, a class or a gift card.
For a classic Martini drinker, go for SCHOFIELD'S English dry vermouth. Dry vermouth is a fortified, aromatised wine that gives a Martini botanical structure and lift. For someone who likes to change the drink’s finish, choose AROMATS.
A Welcome to Vermouth voucher suits someone who would rather learn than add another bottle to the shelf. Choose the masterclass only if they can get to SE26 on 26 or 28 November 2026. If you’d rather let them decide, a gift card offers more choice across Asterley Bros.

FAQs
How should I store vermouth once opened?
Vermouth is wine-based, so keep it in the fridge once opened to preserve its flavour. Aim to finish the bottle within one to two months of opening.
How much AROMATS should I add to a Martini?
The information provided doesn’t specify an exact amount. Use AROMATS as a final garnish to give your Martini a finishing aromatic touch.
Is the vermouth masterclass suitable for beginners?
Yes, the masterclass is easy to follow if you’re new to vermouth, with plenty of depth if you already know it. You’ll learn to tell different styles apart and feel more confident serving vermouth at home.
