Tuscan Twilight Sour

Description: The Tuscan Twilight Sour is an elegant and balanced cocktail that brings together the bright and complex flavors of Italy. This drink combines the robust character of Grappa with the sweet herbal notes of Averno Amaro, a dash of fresh lemon juice, and a hint of sweetness from elderflower cordial. Enhanced with egg white for a silky texture and a touch of Angostura bitters for depth, this cocktail is a perfect match for the sophisticated yet comforting atmosphere of an Italian restaurant.
