Qu'est-ce qui a inspiré la boisson?

I love to drink and create authentic Italian Spritz’s! So drawing on my love of exotic ingredients and destinations, I created a simple Dragonfruit Sorbet, which when topped with Mionetto Prosecco, fizzes and creates a fruity and complex flavour. Dragonfruit came to mind as an ingredient as I was reminiscing about my time working in Hong Kong and how I used to trek the Dragon’s Back Trail on days off with friends while we would talk about new cocktail concepts. Dragon fruit has a tart flavour at first but has a delicious musty flavour that creates a really intriguing aftertaste when combined with something dry and effervescent like Mionetto Prosecco! I added Limincello to give the drink a kick and some fresh lemon to balance out the sweetness with the tartness and acidity. I chose to add Lavender & Tonic bitters because there was often fresh Lavender growing along the trail, and the quinine flavour of Tonic is delicious in a Spritz! Add ice to your spritz and savour!
