After Eight :
6 cl Chocolate Liquor Lemon
1 cl White mint liqueur ( Bols )
Shakered fresh cream flavored with green mint liqueur.
This cocktail should be prepared with the Shake and Strain method.
Bring the chocolate liqueur and the white mint liqueur (Bols) into the shaker with a few ice cubes and shake.
In another shaker put about 5 cl of fresh cream and about 1 cl of green mint liqueur ( Bols) and shake vigorously (Irish Coffee Style )
Pour the shaken liqueurs into a cold martini cup then fill with the well shaken and green mint flavored cream and garnish with flakes of dark chocolate.
P.s: This cocktail can also be served in a “Winter” version, preparing it as Irish Coffee )
Sicily on Ice:
This Cocktail is my own “Mediterranean” version of Moijto
2 cl Mandarin liqueur MANDARETTO from LIMONIO
2 cl orange liqueur ARANCIONE from LIMONIO
2 cl Lemon Liqueur LIMONIO
Top of Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer
2 lime cloves
2 orange or tangerine cloves
Mint
This cocktail should be prepared as you prepare the moijto by pounding in a tall tumbler lime, orange and/or tangerine with raw brown sugar and then beat lightly mint leaves.
I prefer it with crushed ice and replacing soda with Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer (Try the two versions )
Aromatic Tini:
This Cocktail is perhaps the most “sophisticated” and complex and should be prepared with the Mix and Strain method
6 cl Laurel Liqueur LIMONIO
1 cl Gin è LIMONIO
0.5 cl lime juice
Sage leaves
A few pieces of fresh ginger
Fresh Basil Leaves
In the mixing glass beat the sage leaves, basil leaves and ginger along with lime juice (I recommend 0.5 cl or less!)
Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir, then pour the laurel liqueur and the Gin è LIMONIO
Cool a martini cup and pour the cocktail taking care to use, in addition to the strainer, also a fine knitted colander.
Garnish with an olive/chive/half-tomato stick.
Mediterranean Spritz:
2 cl Orange liqueur ARANCIONE from LIMONIO
2 cl Mandarin liqueur MANDARETTO from LIMONIO
2 cl Lemon Liqueur from LIMONIO
American Sour sweetened with 1.5 cl of Elderberry syrup (American sour is made with orange juice, lemon juice and lime)
Sparkling Classic Method Saten ( Franciacorta )
Shake the liqueurs together with the American Sour
Pour into a tall Tumbler or better in a Barolo reserve filled with ice and then add the Sparkling.
Garnish with orange and lemon slices
This particular Spritz can also be prepared using a bitter lemon instead of sparkling wine, but I think the one with sparkling wine is more chic ! 😉 😊
