Janine Rauch:
Vermouth was fashionable in the northern hemisphere before the pandemic, and now a few South Africans are making versions of this lovely infused wine-and-spirit drink.
The Aframisia range is flavoured with Artemisia, a local herb widely used in traditional medicines. The most delicious is the Italian-style “Amber” Aframisia, which is similar to Aperol in colour but less citrussy in flavour.
It's delicious served over ice with a slice of orange, the way the stylish people of Cape Town’s Pizza Shed do; but equally good in a spritz with a South African vonkelwyn or Méthode Cap Classique bubbly.
