The Story Behind The The Venetian Sunrise
The Venetian Sunrise is deceptively complex, combining tropical flavors with bright, bracing notes from Italian amaro.
Fresh vanilla and pineapple juice are layered on a rum base to make you feel like you’re sitting on a beach in the Caribbean. A kiss of Aperol and orange bitters brings Italy into the mix and adds complexity to the otherwise light drink, while rosé simple syrup keeps the drink from getting lopsided.
A few bold, definable flavors, one radiant cocktail.
