La Pivón Vermouth blends distinctly Spanish flavor profiles in its two Blanco and Rojo variations, each made with macerated locally sourced herbs and botanicals like cardamom, wormwood, cinnamon, clove, orange peel, lemon peel, gentian, as well as oranges from Valencia, Spain, resulting in herbaceous, balanced and versatile profiles.
Crafted in Madrid, La Pivón Vermouth is inspired by the daily 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Spanish ritual, La Hora del Vermut. This “Vermouth Hour” is a treasured tradition Madrileños have practiced for decades as a way to bring friends and family together before a great meal—typically lunch—to awaken the appetite and ignite the senses. The Blanco and Rojo La Pivón Vermouths pair perfectly with pantry staple tapas like olives and sardines, though both pair well with hard cheeses and almost any salty snack.
To celebrate the holiday and inspire your own La Hora del Vermut, you can find a couple of simple recipes below.
