It offers a complex medley of juniper, citrus, and fruity aromas, leading you into a rich palate brimming with cinnamon, orange, coriander, and bittersweet fruit. It culminates in a full-bodied finale with a vibrant burst of red fruit. Their White Negroni represents a modern twist on a beloved classic. Forthave’s secret White Aperitivo joins forces with dry gin and a medley of vermouth, creating a floral and herbaceous bouquet embellished by hints of white peppercorn and citrus aromas. The palate is rich with refreshing citrus notes, which seamlessly intertwine with bittersweet florals and the essence of gentian root.And last but not least the Espresso Martini, where Via Carota’s rendition achieves perfect equilibrium through the sacred union of six-times distilled vodka and real espresso. Aromas of dark chocolate, toffee, and dark fruit on the nose lead into the delightful interplay of cherry, chicory, toasted coffee beans, and chocolate on the palate. The journey finishes in a velvety, creamy sensation with a gentle hint of sweetness. Dont hesitate and grab your own Taste of Italy Cocktail Set today!
