Cold Brew Negroni: A Fusion of Iconic Italian Traditions
Taking a genius leap in cocktail innovation, the Cold Brew Negroni marries two quintessentially Italian rituals—the indispensable daily coffee and the beloved evening aperitivo—into a singular, splendid glass. This concoction is not just a drink but a cultural synthesis, offering a caffeinated kick from late afternoon to evening. Its composition is a nod to fine mixology, blending rich Cold Brew coffee tones with the aromatic complexity of Italian vermouth, lifted by the foundational notes of Tanqueray London Dry Gin.
Revolver: A Modern Twist on a San Francisco Classic
The Revolver is a bold reimagining that connects the punchy spices of Bulleit Bourbon with the subtle sweetness of mocha. This drink captures the essence of third-wave coffee culture and chocolate decadence, making it both a modern classic and a media darling. Designed by Patrick Pistolesi, the cocktail stays true to its roots while embracing the lush, seductive flavours of dark chocolate and coffee, accented with hints of orange and vanilla.
Tea Martini: Where British Tradition Meets Italian Flair
Innovatively combining the soothing ritual of tea with the robust character of vodka, the Tea Martini offers a refined take on the classic martini. This drink is part of the escalating tea cocktail trend, making waves across social media with over 1.4 million views. It features the distinctive T+ tequila, crafted from organic black tea leaves, which lends a crisp, tannin-rich dimension that sets it apart from other vodka-based tea cocktails.
Manhat-Tea: A Cosmopolitan Blend of Turin and Manhattan
The Manhat-Tea is a global twist on the iconic Manhattan, bringing together the rich flavours of Bulleit Bourbon with the refined tastes of Cocchi Vermouths and the botanical notes of Italian T+ tequila. This cocktail reflects a rising trend in tea-infused concoctions, meeting consumer demand with quality and simplicity. It remains true to the minimalist ethos of the classic Manhattan while introducing a vibrant, aromatic profile from its select ingredients.
