Instructions

Inspired by the warm, rich flavors of Southern Italy, the Calabrian Sunset is a sophisticated cocktail that elegantly melds the robust essence of the region's cuisine with the delicate sophistication of wine. It captures the vibrant hues of a Calabrian sunset with its deep, inviting coloration and layers of flavor that are as complex as they are refreshing. Ideal for a summer evening or a classy soiree, this drink is a celebration of Southern Italy's love for fine, quality ingredients and their culinary prowess. Ingredients: - 2 oz. Primitivo red wine (a grape variety native to the Puglia region, known for its bold and fruity flavor) - 1 oz. Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur (to add a sweet, citrusy depth, embodying the plentiful citrus groves of the area) - 0.5 oz. Amaro Lucano (bringing an herbal complexity and a nod to the popular Italian herbal liqueur tradition) - 0.5 oz. Fresh lemon juice (to cut through the sweetness and add brightness) - 1 tsp. Fig syrup (homemade or store-bought, to introduce a sweet, earthy note reminiscent of the region's famed figs) - A sprig of fresh thyme (for garnish, adding a fragrant herbal touch) - Orange twist (for garnish, adding color and a zesty aroma) Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the Primitivo red wine, Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, Amaro Lucano, fresh lemon juice, and fig syrup. 2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, ensuring the mixture is well chilled and combined. 3. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass, capturing the essence of elegance and sophistication. 4. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme gently rested on the drink's surface and an orange twist perched on the rim. Glass: - Coupe glass Serving this in a coupe glass enhances the cocktail's elegance, making the Calabrian Sunset not just a drink but a statement of refined taste and an homage to the spirited, picturesque landscapes of Southern Italy.
