No ratings yet

An elegant after-dinner cocktail inspired by The Italian Job No. 2. Licor 43, amaretto, cranberry and a medium-bodied Italian red wine come together in a beautifully balanced digestif with warm vanilla, soft red fruit and a long, smooth finish.

Best enjoyed slowly after dinner, lightly chilled, alongside dark chocolate, almond biscotti or mature Italian cheeses.

The perfect finale to a memorable summer evening.

Method

Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes.
Add the amaretto liqueur, Licor 43 and cranberry juice.
Stir gently until well chilled.
Top up with a medium-bodied Italian red wine and give the cocktail one final gentle stir.
Garnish with an orange twist.

Choose a smooth, fruit-forward Italian red wine such as a Valpolicella or Valpolicella Ripasso. Their balanced acidity and soft tannins complement the vanilla, almond and citrus notes beautifully without overpowering them. Avoid heavily oaked or overly tannic wines.

Notities

History:

Inspired by The Italian Job No. 2, this version replaces Tuaca with Licor 43 to create a smoother Mediterranean-style interpretation that’s easy to recreate with widely available ingredients.

A medium-bodied Italian red wine, such as Valpolicella, Sangiovese, Barbera or Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, complements the warm vanilla and citrus notes beautifully.

Rather than a pre-dinner aperitif, this version shines as an elegant after-dinner cocktail, reminiscent of the rich, warming character of a fine dessert wine or a young ruby port. It offers a smooth and memorable conclusion to an evening of great food, good company and exceptional cocktails.
