Is This the Best Spritz?
Вставка

- Italicus is getting more and more popular behind the bar so it was to make the Italicus Spritz, Cocktail Time style. But is this the best spritz? If you ask me, when you substitute prosecco with two things I love - fino sherry and soda water flavored with lavender bitters - yes, I think it is. Find the recipes for both the classic Italicus Spritz and the Italicus Fino Spritz down below. Cheers!

Italicus Fino Spritz
· 45 ml (1.5 oz) Italicus
· 30 ml (1 oz) fino sherry
· 60 ml soda water with lavender bitters*
· 3 olives
· lemon peel, express, and discard
Into a chilled wine glass filled with ice add the fino sherry first, then Italicus. Italicus is sweeter so it will mix with the sherry. Top up with lavender bitters soda water. Add 3 olives on a cocktail pick and give a gentle turn. Express oils from a lemon peel and discard. Cheers!
*For the flavored soda water add 1 dash of lavender bitters for every 100 ml of cold water and add CO2 with your soda machine (be careful since it might foam over the top). Alternatively use a soda siphon or just add bitters into the cocktail before topping up with plain soda water.

· 3 olives
Into a chilled wine glass filled with ice add the prosecco first, then Italicus. Italicus is sweeter so it won’t float on top as prosecco would. Give a gentle turn with the 3 olives on a cocktail pick.

1:35 "Tito Pepe" 😂 Tito is diminutive for tío. A closer, more familiar way of calling your parents brother. This sounded very funny to my Spanish ear.
It was the very first alcoholic drink I tasted... At the age of seven. Days. Yes: I was only one week old when my grandparent to my sucker and sunk it in his copita and stuck it into my mouth.
Since then I love it. And only recently discovered cocktails with it. Thanks for sharing!
Oh man, that's amazing, I'm pinning this comment for your grandparents! I misspoke on Tio Pepe (and didn't realize until working on the subtitles, when the episode was already uploaded) but I'm glad the meaning still fits lol! Also learned something new so thank you for this great comment! Cheers.
Sorry, I've just noticed 2 misspellings: my grandfather took my sucker and...
Can't wait to land in EU turf to get some Italicus. Can't believe it is still not available in Quebec. Great cocktail as always pal. Cheers!
it's not easy to find in the states but I tracked some down. I find the design of the bottle to be better than its contents. it gets lost in a drink very easily and doesn't have a particularly complex flavor. slight citrus notes from the bergamot, bitterness, a lot of sugar content.
that said, curious to try this drink. maybe it'll change my mind about italicus.
JF, I'll keep enough in the bottle to mix something when you come and visit! Cheers, buddy!
@@romulus_ rosoli can be quite different in flavors depending on the region (or even towns and villages) where they were made for so long. I'm guessing they wanted to keep it nice and nuanced for the first such product to be released commercially. But I couldn't agree more on the bottle, it's a work of art. Cheers!
Thank you Michael Scott gif. I really want to taste it
@@KevinKos looming forward to that moment!
My mother is from Calabria in Italy and I just asked her about Rosolio and she said that she was too young, but she remembers my grandfather talking about it. She said that he told her that it was named after a women called Rosina. I wish I had more to this story - but that's the tip of the iceberg! Thanks so much for sharing - I'm now on a search to find this!
Awesome, I'd love to hear more.
I think I read somewhere that the name came from roses (part of some rosoli) and morning dew on them.
Feel free to share what you'll find out, here or on the Cocktail Time discord server, there's plenty of cocktail friends who'd be interested as well!
Have you tried Italicus before? And what’s your go-to Spritz recipe? Doesn't have to be Italicus, let's hear some ideas before summer ends!
Try substituting italicus in a Sidecar 👌🏻👌🏻
We have a bottle of Italicus and we will be making this very soon.
Can't wait to hear what you think of it. Just be careful with the bitters & the soda machine 😳😂
I just made one for myself, and it is stunning!
Sounds refreshing! Thank you again for another amazing tutorial. Cheers!🥃
My pleasure, Frank! Thanks for watching, cheers!
Oh man, this was so good! Simple & complex at the same time.
It's a really nice low ABV cocktail, I'm glad you liked it!
Looks fantastic as usual.
Cheers, Chip!
Great looking cocktail. Need to pick up a bottle of that. Love the Bitters explosion.
Haha yeah, Sašo did a great job capturing that unexpected moment. I loved Italicus mixed with mead in the Beegroni, but it works great in this light spritz as well. And the bottle makes any shelf look better, which is always a plus, right?
This is a very unique take on spritz 😀will add Italicus to my shopping list when I visit Italy 😊
You should indeed! It's super delicious. Cheers!
Kevin, this looks really good, the bubble overflow was funny :)
Haha yeah, it doesn't always go the way you plan when making a drink, right? Cheers, David!
Thanks Kev!!!
You are welcome Kev!
Bitters always create extra bubbles, its sort of like putting mentos in the coke.
Haha that explains what happened there. First time I used this carbonator (Rhubard soda - ua-cam.com/video/8DPIpO_5vPQ/v-deo.html) I even said that carbonating anything other than water can mean trouble, but I didn't fill the bottle that time and it was ok. Like I said, you live, you learn. Thanks, Pete!
@@KevinKos That carbonater does look fancy though!
Definitely we love kalamata olives Kevin !
Looks/sounds interesting! Need to try and get my hands on Italicus.
It's a great bottle to have in your collection, especially with how good it looks!
KEVIN!! This looks delicious!! I love kalamata olives in a cocktail!!! I thought I was the only one!!! Great video!!!!
Thanks a lot, Tim! You are not the only one that loves kalamata in a cocktail 😉 cheers!
@@KevinKos I made a video using kalamata olives as a garnish called the "Young Man". It turned out very well!!!!
I like the new set, looks nice, like an old time speak easy👍🥂🍻
That is exactly what we wanted our studio to look like. I am so glad you like it.. Cheers!
This is my kind of cocktail. Nice and light. I haven’t been able to find italicus here. I might have to make my own
If you can't find it, make your own. I like it! Thank you and cheers!
Kevin, this looks really good.
Thank you again, David! 😁
Salud🍻from Mexico
Cheers!
Divino coctel Kevin! Lo voy a hacer pero reemplazaré el italicus por Arancello porque en Argentina el Italicus no está
Salute Kevin
Salute Andrea!
I still haven't tried Italicus - I'm going to have to get some.
I am sure you will like it. Cheers!
Thanks for the great content! What's your recommendation of getting a soda siphon or a soda machine? It seems that a soda siphon is more flexible (i.e. the bitter inducing foam part)?
Soda siphon is more flexible for sure but you will spend more on buying Co2 cartridges. Still, I would go with the siphon. Thank you!
Ah I see, thank you!
Never tried this Spritz variant. I think it's the time ahah. Cheers!
I think you are right! You have to try it out 😉 Cheers!
❤❤❤❤
Have you tried to make a homemade Italicus or a bergamot liqueur/rosolio?
not yet.
