Lambrusco Cocktails & Spritzers

"Cocktails were originally a mixture of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters. The word has come to mean almost any mixed drink that contains alcohol. A cocktail today usually contains one or more kinds of spirit and one or more mixers, such as soda or fruit juice. Additional ingredients may be ice, sugar, honey, milk, cream, and various herbs." - Wikipedia

"Stick with a dry, or secco, Lambrusco. Avoid the sweet, or amabile/dolce, style as it will be way too sweet"

Lambrusco Rosemary Gin Fizz

Picture
"For Natalie Bovis-Nelsen, The Liquid Muse and cocktail book author (Preggatinis), it’s all about her Lambrusco Rosemary Fizz, which is actually cited in her new cocktail book, The Bubbly Bride. “Originality is the key to a creative girl’s heart, so rather than the same old hum-drum champagne, surprise your sweetie with a red sparkling cocktail. I love Lambrusco, which is an Italian sparkling red wine – and I especially like it with the earthy rosemary nuances in this drink. Whether you’re getting married or having a simple romantic occasion, this is a drink to remember!”

Aziza's Lambrusco Sangria

Picture
Bubbly Lambrusco adds a touch of effervescence to a classic sangría recipe. Farnoush Deylamian, bar director of Aziza restaurant in San Francisco, uses bubbly Lambrusco to add a little sparkle to classic sangría. With a hit of gin, this cocktail is strong but remains balanced. Remember to be delicate when stirring the cocktail or you’ll kill the bubbles!

What to buy: For this sangría stick with a dry, or secco, Lambrusco. Avoid the sweet, or amabile, style as it will be too sweet. Try Ca Berti Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro 'Robusco'.

Krissy, Bartender, Gramercy Tavern, NYC: "As we all know, temperatures are getting crazy. We just wanted something to kick back with. It's not super-complicated — it's refreshing, it has a float of lambrusco, so it's a cool flavor, and it looks great. Someone will order it and there’s a snowball effect — people see it and they want it. It's just one of those drinks that everyone wants to order. It gives you that icy chill."
