Directions
Pino is a new sparkling cocktail with an incredible, almost fortuitous, birth. But we know that many cocktails, such as Negroni Sbagliato, were born from errors and then became immortal.
The Pino cocktail is still very young but alive and kicking when it comes to the aperitif time: it is lively and fragrant, crisp and stylish in its aromatic boldness. In fact, as ingredients, we have used a full-bodied spumante metodo Classico (the Italian Champagne), which is flanked by a drop of gin and a reminder of Bénédictine to embellish the drink.
And it is Benedictine, this mythical amber elixir, to make the Pino cocktail scintillating and kaleidoscopic with its delicious scents ranging from saffron and honey to walnuts.
The result is a unique cocktail, is not a Spritz, is not so casual, but is more structured and complex.
One piece of advice: do not use Prosecco or a simple sparkling wine, but only Spumante Metodo Classico or Champagne, as body and minerality are the backbone of the cocktail, on which to build the scents symphony.
