Ven.t.o
Ingredients
- 15 milliliters Chamomile Cordial
- 22.5 milliliters Lemon Juice
- 45 milliliters Grappa
- 15 milliliters Honey Syrup
- 1 Egg White (optional)
Instructions
The Ve.N.To cocktail is a refined and nuanced libation that brings together the delightful flavors of grappa, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, chamomile cordial, and optionally egg white. This concoction creates a balanced and aromatic experience that captures the essence of a sophisticated cocktail.
- Prepare a small tumbler glass and fill it with ice cubes to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
- In a shaker, combine the white smooth grappa, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, chamomile cordial, and egg white (if using).
- Shake the mixture vigorously with ice cubes. This not only chills the ingredients but also helps to incorporate the egg white, giving the cocktail a smooth texture and frothy head.
- Once thoroughly shaken, strain the mixture into the chilled tumbler glass filled with ice cubes.
- Optionally, you can garnish the cocktail with a chamomile flower or a lemon twist, which adds visual appeal and a subtle aromatic touch.
The Ve.N.To cocktail is celebrated for its delicate yet complex flavor profile. The grappa brings its distinctive grape-based spirit notes, while the fresh lemon juice provides a tangy brightness. The honey syrup lends a gentle sweetness, and the chamomile cordial introduces an herbal and floral depth, contributing to a well-balanced composition.
The name "Ve.N.To" might be a reference to the Veneto region in Italy, known for its vineyards and grappa production.
Whether you choose to include the egg white or not, the resulting cocktail offers a refined drinking experience that's both elegant and intriguing. This cocktail is likely to appeal to those who appreciate the combination of herbal, floral, and citrus flavors in a well-crafted libation.
