Purple Rain
Created by Janell Grady at North Italia
1 oz Italicus infused with Butterfly Pea Flower Extract
1 oz Malfy Rose Gin
½ oz Housemade Rosemary Simple Syrup
2 oz Prosecco
Method:
Combine Italicus, Gin and Rosemary Simple Syrup, shake and strain over fresh ice. Top with prosecco. Garnish with rosemary sprig and lemon wheel.
Inspiration:
Janell was inspired by North completely. From the light airy feel of the restaurant to the food and the beverages, transports her to a patio in Italy without the passport. The purple color that the butterfly pea flower extract turns heads and any mention of a spritz makes people smile! She dedicated the drink to her daughter because she helped Mom pick the rosemary from their yard. Wild Rosemary grows everywhere throughout the Las Vegas valley.
