Directions
The Bocca di Rosa cocktail is a super easy, but irresistible, long drink, all played on a delicate and tropical symphony. You can drink it in place of the classic Mai Tai or Singapore Sling as an aperitif or quench your thirst with an unpretentious cocktail.
The ingredients of this cocktail are served in a pineapple: apple juice, pineapple juice, tequila, elderberry syrup and a grand finale with ginger beer. The result is a smooth and sharp cocktail but refined by a fleshy and sensual touch given by the pineapple juice and the delicacy of the elderflower syrup.
If you prefer a more intense and direct cocktail, do not put ginger beer into it, but 1 cl of extra dry vermouth or Biancosarti liqueur.
Okay, that’s all, there’s nothing more to do with Rose’s Mouth than love.

How to make the Bocca di Rosa cocktail
To make this cocktail you’ll need a little bit of carving work, so be sure to have a well-sharpened machete at your disposal.
Cut off the top of pineapple, then trim the inside leaving 0.5-1 cm of margin. Be careful not to puncture the pineapple bottom!
Cut the pulp and then remove it with a spoon.
Remove the pulp, keep apart two cubes, and crush the rest in a strainer with a spoon.
In a mixing glass filled with ice pour tequila, elderberry, apple, and pineapple juice then stir.
Drop 2-3 tears of Chartreuse in pineapple and coat the ”glass”.
When the cocktail is well iced, pour it into the pineapple and add the ginger beer.
Decorate with a maraschino cherry and 2 cubes of pineapple.
