Additionally, bartenders are experimenting with new recipes that use a greater variety of dessert wines, including Vermouth, Madeira, Tokaj, and Sauternes. These sweet and flavorful wines are perfect for creating unique and creative cocktails.
Overall, the trend of using dessert wine in cocktails is gaining momentum and is likely to continue to grow as more bartenders experiment with this unique ingredient.
