Esquimalt Dry Vermouth

500ml

Worlds Best Dry Vermouth 2023

This Dry Vermouth follows the French tradition. The ‘off-dry’ profile is critical in balancing out both the additional bitterness from the wormwood and in spirit-forward cocktails like a Martini.

Enjoy in a classic 2:1 Martini or perhaps on ice, split 50/50 with tonic water for a lovely light cocktail. This is also a fantastic, premium addition in cooking instead of white wine. It provides a lovely touch of herbaceousness with a bit of acidity without going over the top.

Rootside Root Beer Bitters 100ml

These bitters exude the bold, earthy essence of root beer, complemented by a hint of sarsaparilla vanilla spice.

Esquimalt Bianco Vermouth

500ml

Bianco Vermouths are often used to substitute a Rosso Vermouth where a lighter cocktail variation is desired. While this vermouth is made in the Sweet style with hints of our Rosso Vermouth, it has a vibrancy all its own and works wonders in highballs, or just poured straight over ice. It is not overly sweet by any means, its sweetness is balanced with its herbaceous bitterness and brightened up with lemon peels.

Rootside

New Orleans Red Bitters

100ml

Inspired by the iconic New Orleans/Creole aromatic bitters tradition, perfect for enhancing classic cocktails such as Sazerac or Vieux Carré. Packed with an abundance of captivating aromatics, this infusion adds an additional layer of charm to any cocktail or sparkling soda water.

Esquimalt Rosso Vermouth

500ml

Worlds Best Dry Vermouth 2023

This Mead Vermouth is made in the style of a traditional Italian Rosso Vermouth, but with enough Vancouver Island character to stand on its own. Thirty-two different botanicals are precisely extracted into a continuously aged Solera and then added to fortified blueberry-blossom mead to create a sweet vermouth tailor made for classic cocktails like a Negroni, Martinez or Manhattan.

Frequently enjoyed over ice, perhaps topped with sparkling water. As always, all of Esquimalt’s vermouths are made from mead, using 100% British Columbian blueberry-blossom honey.

Rootside Orange Bitters 100ml

Vibrant orange peel is harmoniously combined with comforting spices like nutmeg and chamomile, making it a versatile addition to classic cocktails such as the Martini, Old Fashioned, Bamboo, and any other concoction that calls for the delightful touch of Orange Bitters.
