Rossini | Cocktail Party

Rossini

We don’t know who invented the Rossini, cousin to the ever-popular Bellini cocktail. We’ve seen plenty of recipes for it, from the over-simplified (strawberry vodka? Really!?) to the laborious (some call for lemon and sugar in the pureé, even herbs). We’re partial to this recipe we found in Saveur magazine; it’s simple, pure and gorgeous.

Fresh strawberries are a versatile drink ingredient, and the Rossini isn’t sensitive to the kind of bubbly you use. Saveur recommends a prosecco, but we think it does the name more justice to use something with a bit of red in it, like a sparkling rosé Cava (our favorite).

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
