Rossini

The Rossini is a bar standard outside the IBA list: 4 ingredients, shaken and topped and served in a flute. That makes 198 ml in the glass: a long drink.

Ingredients

• 25 mlfresh strawberries
• 30 mlstrawberry liqueur
• 5 mlfresh lemon juice
• 105 mlprosecco

Method

1. Muddle the strawberries in the base of the shaker.
2. Add the liqueur and lemon, shake with ice and fine strain into the flute.
3. Top with prosecco.

Garnish: Garnish with a strawberry slice.

What it tastes like

bitter → sweet

Sweetness shows without covering: it comes from strawberry liqueur, with 0.2 out of 10 of bitterness holding it back.

round → sour

Acidity leaves it halfway: 79th of 186, and the acid comes from prosecco.

light → strong

Just 8.9% in the glass: lighter than 71% of the catalogue, and the volume has as much to do with it as the recipe.

Among the five around it on the map it is the only one built on vino.
