Daiquiri Cocktail

Creato agli inizi degli anni '90 da Julio Bermejo, questo cocktail prende il nome del ristorante-bar di famiglia a San Francisco, autoproclamato "il miglior tequila bar sulla terra". Il Tommy's Margarita adesso si trova in tutte le cocktail list dei migliori bar del mondo e, allo stesso tempo, il piccolo ristorante di famiglia dove questo favoloso drink è nato è diventato una mecca per i bartenders e i curiosi che vogliono provare ad assaporarlo, vivendo un'esperienza indimenticabile.

Rispetto al classico Margarita ne esalta il sapore sostituendo il triple sec con lo sciroppo di agave che non a caso viene estratto da una pianta grassa del Messico: l'Agave Tequiliana Weber.

Iconically pink, the Cosmopolitan was born at the hands of Cheryl Cook, bartender and owner of The Strand in Miami. His words describe the birth of the drink better than anyone else: "It was about 1985; Martini was making a comeback, with its classic glass. The women didn't seem to like cocktails very much but liked to be seen with the martini glass in hand. This gave me the idea of ​​creating a cocktail that would appeal to anyone and fit in this classic glass".So, I took the ingredients, Absolut Citron, a dose of triple sec, a drop of Rose's Lime and enough cranberry to make it deliciously pink. In a short time the cocktail was mentioned by the famous Cosmopolitan magazine, from which Cook took inspiration for the name.

By drinking this cocktail we start a journey to a magic and uncommon place: a blooming garden in the cold Russia.To the first sip we’re surrounded by a landscape which is very different from the traditional one of the hard Russian winter.We’re in the exact moment when, after months of black and white, Moscow is coloured thanks to the short and intense spring flowering. The white elderflower, magic plants that blooms between March and April, is the first ingredient of this fresh, fragrant and fruity cocktail.

One day he wanted something a little bit stronger than his usual Americano so he asked Fosco Scarselli, the barman, to add a dash of gin rather than soda to the drink, in honour of his recent trips to London. The new cocktail became ‘the usual’ for the Count and soon the ‘Count Negroni-style Americano aperitif’ for everybody else. In the 1950s, the cocktail became very popular in Italy and then worldwide with even Ian Fleming citing the Negroni Cocktail in one of the episodes of his famous James Bond saga.
