A CHEF'S ROSSINI
Chefs often enjoy trying new techniques and playing with ingredients, and yes - you could go as far as saying they like to make their life a little bit complicated. Our Danilo Cortellini included! Discover his variation on the Rossini cocktail, with strawberries puree and Prosecco DOC Rosé.
Time
40 minutes
Difficulty
Ingredients
250 GR OF FRESH STRAWBERRIES
5 GR OF SUGAR
2 BASIL LEAVES
40 ML OF CAMPARI
1 DASH OF ANGOSTURA
75 ML OF PROSECCO DOC ROSE'
DRIED STRAWBERRIES TO GARNISH
Directions
This recipe will make more strawberry puree than you need for 1 cocktail (that would be about 40 ml). Freeze it for future use.
Rinse and cut the strawberries into chunks. Mix them with the sugar, 1 basil leaf and the Campari and let them macerate for 30 minutes (add or remove sugar according to your taste and the sweetness of the strawberries).
Now heat them up gently for a few minutes only, just wait for them to warm up and start breaking down.
Remove the basil and blitz into a blender. Then pass the puree through a fine sieve to get rid of the tiny seeds. Keep refrigerated.
Cool the glass with ice cubes, then remove them. Pour the strawberry puree into the Prosecco DOC glass and top up with the cold Prosecco DOC Rosé. Stir gently and garnish with dried strawberries and a basil leaf.

NEGRONI SBAGLIATO
Alessandro Palazzi, renowned Italian Bartender head of the Duke’s bar in London teaches us how to prepare the now world-wide famous Negroni Sbagliato using Prosecco DOC.
This Italian drink born out of a mistake (sbagliato means wrong) in 1972 at Bar Basso in Milan has conquered the social media world in late 2022 thanks to a viral video.
The story goes that instead of using gin as the proper Negroni should be, sparkline wine was used to top up the vermouth and Campari base: the best mistake ever!
Time
3 minutes
Difficulty
Ingredients
30 ML RED VERMOUTH
30 ML CAMPARI
40 ML PROSECCO DOC BRUT
ORANGE ZEST
ICE CUBES
Directions
This drink can be prepared directly into the glass.
Alessandro suggest to always cool the glass beforehand with lots of ice. This will keep your drink cool and prevent the ice to melt too quickly and dilute your drink. Throw away the initial ice.
Pour sequentially the vermouth and the Campari in the glass. Now add fresh ice cubes into the glass.
Top up with the Prosecco DOC brut and gently stir the drink (stir once only to avoid loosing bubbles).
To garnish, the Maestro suggest to use the zest of the orange rather than the traditional slice. All the aromatic essential oils of the fruit are into the zest, we should use those to elevate the drink.
Take a whole zest with the help of a potato peeler, get close to the glass edge and ‘squeeze it’ on its top; you can actually see the oils be released onto the glass rim.
Now gently brush the rim with the zest and place it into the drink.
This ritual is an essential step to make great cocktails.
Enjoy straight away.
