Mr Mug Rojo Vermouth is a New Zealand-made red vermouth built around Central Otago Pinot Noir. The wine base is combined with a carefully selected range of botanicals to create a contemporary local interpretation of classic red vermouth.
The flavour profile brings together the fruit character of Pinot Noir with aromatic herbs, warming spice and balancing bitterness. Its combination of wine, botanicals and bittersweet character makes Rojo suitable for drinking chilled or over ice as well as for classic vermouth-based cocktails.
Rojo can be used in cocktails such as a Negroni, Manhattan or Boulevardier, where its richer red-wine and botanical character can complement gin, whisky and bitter aperitifs.
