Signature Cocktails

The inspiration for this drink comes from the Mediterranean Sea. Citrus fruits are some of the products of the earth that represent Mediterranean culture more than others, so much so that they even enter into some immortal myths of oral and literary production. An example of this is the eleventh labor of Hercules, which sees the mythical hero struggling with the garden of the Hesperides, from which he must steal 3 “golden apples” (lemons or citrons) with the help of the titan Atlas. Mandarin, chinotto and bitter orange peels present in Aperol give freshness, depth and a light and pleasant bitterness to this low-alcohol drink flavored with the scent of sage.

What if we told you that it is possible to make a mash-up between two great mixing classics and thus obtain a completely original drink, with an unexpected flavor and a nice presentation? The two drinks from which we started are the Kyr Royal, a cornerstone of the French aperitif composed of Creme de Cassis and Champagne, and the Clover Club, a drink from the early 1900s but deservedly back in the news since 2010 , made with gin, raspberry and lemon juice. The union of the two has produced this recipe which includes Tanqueray London dry gin and Ferrari Trento DOC, in a combination that can enhance an aperitif or enhance a dish. Also characterizing Felicità is its serving glass, a silicone cup (break-proof!) with a bright pink hue.

Tradition plays a strong role in this drink: three now iconic products of national production do the honours. The first is Amaretto Disaronno, the most drunk Italian liqueur in the world, which with its almond notes has acted as a guarantor of Made in Italy throughout the world. The second is Cedrata Tassoni, a childhood memory for all those born after 1956, which with its sweet and acidic notes has refreshed the summers of many teenagers. And finally, a production brought out of the mists of time: Biancosarti, a liqueur that since the Second World War and throughout the Economic Boom has been synonymous with an aperitif throughout Italy. The bitter, sweet and acidic notes of Cocorito can meet the requests of the most demanding customers.

One of the most drunk drinks in the world in recent years is without a doubt the Espresso Martini. Who better than the Italians to have their say on coffee? So we decided to make our own version of this contemporary classic, playing on a new and not at all obvious element. To the traditional recipe of vodka and coffee we decided to add a cocoa and vanilla liqueur and the hint of Italianness of fresh lemon juice. “Coffee and lemon together?” the most instinctive among you might think. But we assure you that the combination, within the drink, is surprising and winning.

A drink specially developed for a very young clientele, but who do not want to be outdone at the table with older customers intent on consuming colorful mixed drinks. Here then is Gloria, played on the notes of strawberry puree and vanilla syrup, combined with Peach Estathé and a few drops of bergamot juice (to best balance the final result). The glass in which the drink is served also contributes to making drinking “playful”, an iconic mug branded with the colors and logo of Crazy Pizza.
