Caffè Concerto Paszkowski "Grap-Tini "Bartender: Luca Manni, Francesco Guetta
Ingredients
2 cl Nardini Grappa Extrafina
3 cl Nardini Citron Water
3 cl Grape Cordial Homemade
Description
The classic Martini goes out of the box and acquires new life and color thanks to the Nardini Cedar Water that intertwines with the extra-fine Nardini Grappa, for a combination of flavor, freshness, strength and acidity well sealed by the Grape Cordial. The triumph of flavors slips into the elegance of a cup that contains soft, vaguely straw-colored colors, capable of expressing harmony and grace.
Fake Firenze - "Capriccio N°5 " - Bartender: Daniele Cristellon
Ingredients
3 cl Ginarte Premium Dry Gin
1,5 cl Bitter Fusetti
3 cl Lime Juice
2.25 cl Grilled Pineapple Syrup
1 Spoon Sugar Syrup
3 Drops foamer
Rosemary Perfume Spray
Description
The entry into the mouth is sweet and short, followed by the refreshing citrus notes of lime and the bittering part of Bitter Fusetti, which goes well with the botanicals of Ginarte, granting the palate a balsamic and not predominant bitterness, balanced by the fruity sweetness of the pineapple syrup. The vaporization of rosemary creates a fresh and herbaceous contrast with the sweet entry in the mouth. The edible garnish exploits the contrast between the sweetness of the caramel and the Fusetti bitter.
