Two cocktails using Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto liqueur.

Equipment

  • 2 wine glasses 12 or 13 oz glasses
  • 2 cocktail picks

Ingredients

  • ice (as desired)
  • 6 oz Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto (liqueur)
  • 12 oz Prosecco, DOP
  • 6 green olives (pitted)

Instructions

  • Fill the glasses with your choice of ice, and as much as you prefer (I used crushed, but also like a large round ball.)
  • Add the Italicus liqueur, and the Prosecco.
  • Skewer three olives onto each of two cocktail picks.
  • Serve with your favorite aperitivo nibbles like bruschetta, cured meats/cheeses, bread, etc.

Notes

  • To make my version of the ITALICUS CUP: use the same amount of liqueur, but half the amount of Prosecco and replace the other half with grapefruit juice (6 oz Italicus, 6 oz Prosecco, 6 oz grapefruit juice for 2 cocktails.) Omit the olives, and add a slice/wedge of grapefruit.
  • To make the original ITALICUS CUP: substitue the Prosecco with tonic or grapefruit soda, omit the olives and add a wedge of grapefruit.
  • NOTE: since Italicus nutrition information isn't available, I used elderflower liqueur to calculate the values, therefore they are estimated.
