The 4 most popular cocktails in Italy

If there is something that drives us crazy, besides ice, that’s Italy. Apart from the 5 reasons to travel to Italy that we gave you, there is another reason which is even stronger than the previous ones in order to know this wonderful country: its cocktails. We can not afford to know that you are travelling to Italy and do not know what to drink! From Ice Tech we tell you the top 5 most demanded cocktails by the Italians.

1- GARIBALDI.

Honouring to the Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi. It is a soft cocktail prepared with orange juice.

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces of Campari
• 6 ounces of natural orange juice (You can use a non-natural one, but it will not look so good)
• 1 slice of orange to decorate
• Sugar to decorate the edge of the glass
• Chopped Ice Tech ice

For its elaboration, it is only necessary to mix all the ingredients in a shaker and to serve it well cold.

This appetizer can be taken in a normal glass or in a wine glass, depending on your taste.

2- NEGRONI.

Ideal for winter. Its name comes from the last name of its creator, the Count Camilo Negroni. Its origin goes back to the 20s, coming from the great Italian city of Florence.

Ingredients:

• 30 ml of Gin.
• 30 ml of sweet Vermouth.
• 30 ml of Campari.
• Soda (optional).
• 1 slice of orange.
• Ice Tech ice.

In order to prepare it, we first need to pour Ice Tech ice, Gin, Vermouth and Campari into the glass, stirring it with a stick. Then, pour the cocktail into the wine glass or the tall glass, and add some soda. Decorate it with a slice of orange and that’s it!

3- AMERICAN.

Although the name may be confusing, it is a totally Italian cocktail. This cocktail is considered to be the father of Negroni, with the difference that it contains more alcohol.

Ingredients:

• 30 ml of Campari
• 30 ml of Sweet Vermouth
• Soda
• 1 slice of orange
• 1 slice of lemon
• Ice Tech ice

Firstly, we place Ice Tech ice in a glass and then, once the ingredients are well mixed, we add the rest of the ingredients. In order to decorate it, you can choose orange or lemon. We love it with lemon 😉

4- CARDINALE.

This cocktail has been worldwide known as Kir, in honour of its maximum prime mover, Féliz Kir.

Ingredients:

• 30 ml of Campari
• 60 ml of London dry gin
• 9.5 ml of dry Vermouth
• Ice Tech ice

In order to prepare it, it will be more than enough to mix everything in a shaker and serve it with a lot of Ice Tech ice.
