Badenhorst 'Caperitif' Vermouth, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa

A.A. Badenhorst's ‘Caperitif’ revives a once-lost chapter of cocktail history with a distinctly South African identity. Crafted in the Swartland from Chenin Blanc and infused with a remarkable selection of 35 botanicals, it captures both tradition and innovation. With roots tracing back to its early popularity in the Savoy Cocktail Book, Caperitif has been reborn as a modern essential, weaving indigenous flavors from the Cape Floral Kingdom into a vermouth of striking complexity and character. Product Details: Grape: Chenin Blanc Alcohol: 17.5% Sensory Description: This vermouth opens with bitter-sweet, grassy aromas layered with bright citrus zest, where clementine peel leads the way. Nuanced notes of clove, rooibos, and ginger add warming spice and depth. On the palate, it strikes a delicate balance of herbal freshness and fruit-driven intensity, with a subtle bitterness that lingers into a clean, complex finish. Distinctly South African in accent, it shines equally well in class
