Instructions

Inspired by the stunning Amalfi Coast and the rich flavors of Italy, the Sorrento Sunset Aperitivo offers a homemade twist on the classic Negroni. With the tartness of homemade limoncello and the sweetness of a basil-strawberry shrub, this cocktail pays homage to Italian culinary traditions while offering a fresh and innovative taste. Glass: Old Fashioned Glass Ingredients: - 30 ml Homemade Limoncello - 30 ml Gin (preferably Italian, such as Malfy or Gin Mare) - 30 ml Sweet Vermouth (Italian, as with Carpano Antica Formula) - 20 ml Basil-Strawberry Shrub (recipe below) - 10 ml Campari - Fresh Basil Leaf (for garnish) - Dehydrated Orange Wheel (for garnish) Homemade Limoncello: - Zest from 5 Organic Lemons (avoid the white pith) - 500 ml Vodka or Neutral Grain Spirit - 350 ml Water - 250 g Sugar Basil-Strawberry Shrub: - 200 g Fresh Strawberries (hulled and sliced) - 200 g Caster Sugar - 100 ml Apple Cider Vinegar - 10 Fresh Basil Leaves Instructions: 1. Two weeks prior, begin the limoncello. Combine lemon zest and vodka in a sealable jar and let it infuse away from direct sunlight. After a week, make a simple syrup by dissolving the sugar in water over low heat. Allow to cool, then mix with the lemon-infused vodka. Let the mixture rest for another week, then strain and bottle. 2. For the Basil-Strawberry Shrub, combine strawberries and sugar in a bowl and macerate for 24 hours. Mash the strawberries and strain the liquid into a clean jar, pressing to extract all the juice. Add apple cider vinegar and basil leaves, then seal and shake the jar. Refrigerate for 3-4 days, shaking daily. Strain and bottle for use. 3. To make the cocktail, combine the limoncello, gin, sweet vermouth, basil-strawberry shrub, and Campari in an ice-filled mixing glass. 4. Stir well for about 30 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled. 5. Strain into the Old Fashioned Glass over a large ice cube. 6. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf and a dehydrated orange wheel to bring out the colors of an Italian sunset. 7. Serve immediately and enjoy the bittersweet symphony of this Italian-inspired aperitivo, embodying the essence of a tranquil sunset over the Sorrentine Peninsula.
