The person credited with the second vermouth recipe, Antonio Benedetto Carpano from Turin, Italy, chose to name his concoction "vermouth" in 1786 because he was inspired by a German wine flavored with wormwood, an herb most famously used in distilling absinthe.
Popular drinks include corn liquor, mistella, and "donkey's milk", which is known as "Andean punch."
