Cocktail: Under the Tuscan Sun | Bartender: Michele Maffei

Inspired by my love for sauté mushrooms and the movie that bears the same name. Created for the Elit Art of Martini Competition. It’s a earthy Martini great before your meal or as night cup. It didn’t win the world championship in Ibiza but was very appreciate by all. Currently on our cocktail menu at Noce.
