Also, vermouth should be refrigerated unless being used quickly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
At one point, "tion" was probably pronounced the way it's spelled, "TEE-ON". The problem is that the "T" consonant and the "EE" vowel is formed in the front of the mouth, while the "O" vowel is formed in the middle. So basically, your tongue would have to start at the front of the mouth to pronounce "TEE", move to the middle to pronounce "O", and then move to the front again for the "N". So over time, the "TEE" shifted to "SH" so that the tongue could just start in the middle of the mouth and pronounce "SHO" and then move to the front for the "N". Much easier!

I believe Noilly Pratt is Jon's vermouth of choice. The bar doesn't refrigerate, I don't think.

"When the light turned green. The driver didn't go. You didn't say fuckwad."
I get, "Why did you call that person a jackass, Mommy?"

Bars go through it a lot faster than the average home cocktail drinker. [link]
So you should keep your spirits at room temperature, but do refrigerate your vermouth. Vermouth is a lightly fortified wine, and as such it's subject to oxidation, just like any other wine. If you keep it cold, however, a good vermouth should last at least six months before it shows any sign of deterioration.
