A great name for a drink

I have no idea what it tastes like, but what a name. I am in the village where they make the stuff.

  • It is excellent Jonathan, I drink about three bottles of the stuff a year, mixed in very small quantities with either Bombay Sapphire gin or Snow Queen vodka it makes wonderful Dry Martini cocktails.

  • John Rippengal

    I always thought it was the only acceptable Dry Vermouth with which to make a Dry Martini used as Paul Coulam says in very small quantities on very very cold gin.
    Agree though it’s a superb name especially when pronounced in the ‘English’ way.

  • Agree with both of the above. Also, an essential ingredient in the perfect “beurre blanc”

  • Julian Taylor

    And where they make the stuff they do a particularly fine unique ‘amber’ Noilly Prat – well worth a visit to sample it.

  • Yes indeed, it really is far and way the best Vermouth for a gin martini. In fact it is a very handy thing to have a bottle of lying around. I use it in cooking—it is particularly good drizzled over fish in a papillotte. It also makes a lovely refreshing summer drink when mixed 1:2 with tonic and a twist of lime.
