Cocktail of the month. New York by Dario Schiavoni from The Bvlgari Bar

The cocktail: New York, The Bvlgari Bar - Bvlgari Resort Dubai

This cocktail is inspired by the famous New York Sour, IBA's official cocktail in the New Era Drinks category, whose alcoholic shoulder is given by Rye or Bourbon Whiskey supported by red wine. The interpretation proposed by Bvlgari Bar Dubai employs the clarification process - Milk Wash technique - which, through the coagulation of milk with citric acid, allows the discoloration of the drink. To give a touch of Italy is the addition of coffee, Galliano Vanilla and finally red wine, produced on Giovanni Bulgari's estate in the Sienese countryside. Passion fruit, on the other hand, pays homage to the United Arab Emirates and makes the drink appreciated to Dubai customers. Due to the similarity of the aromatic notes, the drink is reminiscent of mulled wine, a traditional drink of the winter season in Italy.
