What inspired the drink?

La Passione Di Mionetto is a cocktail that utilizes Italian and Vietnamese ingredients, the aim is to celebrate the idea of the diversity of cultures. I chose olive oil because I find it pairs well with fruit notes in Mionetto prosecco. Orange colour and sweetness from Aperol which I believe aid to enhance delicate floral notes. To create a natural aroma to the drink I decided to go with natural ingredients like peach, honey and pandan leaves. Peach will provide a bit of sourness which will be balanced out by the sweetness of honey and the vanilla fragrance of pandan leaves. I believe this combination of natural ingredients can help the drink to achieve a rich and umami flavour. La Passione Di Mionetto is all about Mionetto’s values and characteristics, it is fresh, fruity, light, contemporary and Italian style.
