MAiNDENii Vermouth
SWEET VERMOUTH
Gilles and Shaun, winemaker and bartender, were first united over their love of the negroni. They were both convinced that the sweet vermouth used in the classic should never overpower the gin. Accordingly, they created the Sweet to be perfectly balanced both as a vermouth and as a component of the cocktail. Maidenii Sweet will take your negroni to unchartered territory.

DRY VERMOUTH
Maidenii Dry was created with the martini in mind. However the versatility of this style means that it is just as delicious drunk straight, with a dash of tonic or with a larger measure of gin. In the true spirit of exploration, we undertook many experiments (and a lot of taste testing) to create what we believe is the very first dry vermouth perfected for martinis.
