However, his extremely complex taste might be burdensome and difficult to approach. And it is for this reason that we propose a really interesting alternative. It’s lighter and easier to wear, and the calories are far lower than the original.

The Sicilian twist gives this renowned cocktail a pleasant citrus taste that is ideal for enjoying on a warm, sunny day.
