Inspiration:
This drink was born out of my passion for food. I was really glad to have a chance to create a drink starting from my favorite dish.
I didn't think twice about using an Italian timeless classic, the renowned "Cacio e Pepe".
I developed my drink around it; it was a bit reverse process, starting from the top of the cocktail but my goal was to get my favourite dish aroma, to the nose of the one who tasted the drink.
Starting from this purpose, I reinterpreted a Bloody Mary, using ITALICUS as the main alcoholic part which, with its citrus scent, went perfectly together with all the others elements.
