In Buenos Aires, vermouth is synonymous with summer, friendship and the neighbourhood. It came to these shores from Turin but seeped deep into Argentine culture. We’ll drink it with or without a dash of soda, but ice is essential. When it comes to this symbol of Porteño camaraderie, remember that the more colourful the tavern, the better the vermouth will be served.

#SpirituousBuenosAires is a series from @travelBuenosAires that shows the city’s drinks scene through iconic spaces, key figures, and elements that mark Porteño identity.
