Instructions

Description: The Tuscan Sunset Spritz is a tribute to the breathtaking evenings of Tuscany, where the sky paints itself in hues of orange and pink as the sun dips below the rolling hills. This aperitif is designed to whet the appetite and capture the essence of Tuscany's rich culinary and viticultural traditions, with herbal notes and tart berry undertones that bring to mind the region's lush landscapes and historic vineyards. Ingredients: - 1 oz Aperol - 1 oz Chianti Classico reduction (reduce 1 cup of Chianti Classico with 1/4 cup of sugar until syrupy) - 1/2 oz Limoncello - 1/2 oz Freshly squeezed orange juice - 3 oz Prosecco - 2 oz Soda water - Fresh rosemary sprig for garnish - Thinly sliced orange wheel for garnish - Fresh blackberries for garnish Glass: Serve in a large wine glass, to enhance the aromatic experience and pay homage to Tuscany's renowned wine culture. Instructions: 1. Begin by making the Chianti Classico reduction in advance. Allow it to cool to room temperature before use. 2. Fill the wine glass with ice to chill, then discard the ice and refresh with new ice for the drink. 3. Pour the Aperol, Chianti Classico reduction, Limoncello, and orange juice into the glass over the ice. 4. Stir gently to mix the ingredients. 5. Top the mixture with Prosecco and soda water, careful to maintain the effervescence. 6. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, an orange wheel, and a few fresh blackberries. 7. Give the rosemary sprig a gentle slap or twist to release its aromatic oils before placing it in the glass. 8. Serve immediately, encouraging a leisurely sipping to embrace the Tuscan tradition of a slow and savored pre-dinner ritual.
