What inspired the drink?
The 3 mystery ingredients together inspired me to make a cocktail based on one of my favourite ways to enjoy Mionetto: watching a good movie with my partner and a big bowl of popcorn! There is honestly no better way to have a glass of wine that comes from passion and a place so loved-fillled as Italy. The combination of creamy milk stock and bubbles is intriguing, refreshing, and beautifully light orange thanks to the colorants in the candy. A smooth entrance if delicately balanced by tart lemon and bitersweet amaro, highlighting the toasted notes of the wine and the popcorn harmoniously.
