Since AMARI Italian Kitchen and Wine Shop opened its doors in 2023, the Luna Rossa has been a standout on our menu. This refreshing drink encapsulates the perfect balance of botanicals, citrus, and herbal notes, making it an ideal choice for springtime celebrations, Mother's Day gatherings, or an outing with girlfriends.
The Luna Rossa features Ketel One Botanical Cucumber and Mint, which provides a crisp, cool foundation with subtle hints of refreshing cucumber and invigorating mint. Infused with the delicate, citrusy elegance of Italicus, a blend of bergamot and other fine botanicals, the cocktail gains a sophisticated complexity. A touch of cucumber syrup and fresh lime juice adds just the right amount of sweetness and tartness.
The drink is served over ice, with a sprig of mint and a carefully crafted fruit sphere as the garnish, enhancing its visual appeal and providing an extra burst of flavor. The Luna Rossa is as visually captivating as it is delicious, with its green hues and eye-catching presentation.
Whether you're enjoying it on a warm afternoon or as a refreshing companion to evening conversation, the Luna Rossa is unforgettable. AMARI is known for crafting cocktails that combine quality ingredients with creativity, and the Luna Rossa is the perfect embodiment of that philosophy—vibrant, refreshing, and always in style.
