Negroni Sbagliato

In 1972, Mirko Stocchetto at the Bar Basso in Milan added sparkling wine instead of the gin by mistake to a Negroni. He then realized that this variation had some sense and this humble mistake led to the creation of a classic cocktail that is still enjoyed all around the world today, and to its name: in fact, in Italian "sbagliato" means mistaken. Ideal for those who want to enjoy a few "bubbles" without having to forget the classic sharp Negroni taste they know and love.

INGREDIENTS
1 part (1 oz, 3cl) Campari
1 part (1 oz, 3cl) Red Vermouth
1 part (top) Prosecco DOC Saraceni

Build in a double rocks glass with ice.
Garnish with a slice of orange.

Lady in Blue

A variation on a White Lady (a New Orleans Sour), this gin-based coupe carries crème de violette, orange flower water and edible flower petals, but Blumond is its crown jewel.

INGREDIENTS
1.5 ounces London dry Gin
¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
¾ ounce simple syrup
2 to 3 drops Orange flower water
0.25 onces Crème de violette
Blumond
Lime (for serving)

Add Gin, lemon juice, syrup and Crème violette to a shaker and fill with ice.
Shake, then add drops of Orange flower water and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Pour Blumond last to complete the cocktail and garnish with lime

For those times when you buy as many quarts of berries as you can carry, then don’t know what to do with them, preserve them into drinkable form.

2 cups fresh blueberries
1 wide strip lemon zest
2 cups applejack brandy
Simple syrup (for serving)
Perlè Sparkling Merlot

Combine blueberries, lemon zest, and brandy in jar and seal tightly. Let sit in a cool dark place, shaking jar daily, until mixture is a deep purple color, about 1 month.
