(ANSA) - ROME - Collect the nuances of love in a glass. This is the challenge taken up by five Roman barmen for Valentine's Day who, in their respective trendy bars, sign recipes designed specifically for the anniversary of February 14th and all related to the capital or to the ingredients or lifestyles.
"Far from you" is a drink dedicated to lovers, in particular to those who do a job that often takes them away from home, their affections and their love. "Sipping this drink - says the author, Mario Farulla , bar manager of the Baccano restaurant in Rome - you will think back to your homeland, and it will make you feel less distant from your loved one, who patiently awaits your return. And so the ingredients become the flag Italian, home, thanks to the green of the pistachio granola, the red of Peychaud's bitter and the white of the VII Hills Italian Dry Gin, with its seven spices, such as the seven hills of Rome and its hints of chamomile, pomegranate, celery, artichoke , dog rose, juniper and blood orange ".
While "Selfie" is a "selfish and romantic drink" underlines Valeria Bassetti , co-founder and partner of Drink-It who also on Valentine's Day advises to "love yourself first to love better".
Tusculum, the cocktail with Cesanese red wine on the surface together with a sprig of rosemary, expresses love, but for the city of Frascati, in the recipe created by Max La Rosa , owner and barman of the Divan Japonais of Frascati. For lovers, what's more romantic than the winter sea? This is remembered by Ilaria Bello , bartender of the Talea of Torvaianica, who offers the drink Ruscio de mare (in Italian, the sound of the sea) as a "tribute to all those impossible loves, made of overwhelming passions, impetuous like the waves and which echo in our heads like the sound of the sea ".
Finally, Valentine's Day explodes in the notes of the drink "Formidable love", signed Roberta Martino, co-founder of the collective ShakHer, who wants to tell this feeling of the warm shades of spirit in its basic component, the sweet and luscious note of apricot, the indispensable spiced quotation of vermouth, the dry released by the botanicals of the VII Hills Italian Dry Gin and the fatal bitter counterpoint of the Formidable Amaro. The cognac Hine? The unexpected and elusive element, like the lover in the closet, winks at Martino. (ANSA).
