This is as easy at it sounds — almost effortless, really. Just be sure to use a vermouth you really love (I’m a fan of dark, robust, earthy Spanish ones) and keep the bottle in the fridge.

Can you tell me what you buy? I wouldn't know a "Nice" vermouth if I tripped over it. Thanks.

Ron Aaronson

If you're not mixing the vermouth with anything else other than soda water, could you do much better than Carpano Antica Formula?

Carolyn

Try adding liquor to your favorite kombucha. Whiskey + blood orange; gin or vodka + lemon ginger; rum + pineapple. Very easy, low sugar, carbonation, and healthy bacteria!

Chris

If you can find it Berto Sweet vermouth is Great and priced right!

Bestplin

A variation with dry vermouth, add a bit of honey syrup: equal parts honey and water with a small pinch of salt, you can mix it up in a bottle of nearly-finished honey and keep it in the fridge.

Rachel

I added a tablespoon or so of olive brine to excellent effect
