For all those lovers of good taste and exclusivity, I am pleased to announce the arrival of the first edition of Prohibition Week at Nicoletta, a collaboration with Brown Forman that will transport you back to the exciting Prohibition era. From April 5th to the 27th, I invite you to indulge in a unique experience that celebrates the iconic cocktails of the 1920s with three iconic cocktails.
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF PROHIBITION WEEK?
Prohibition Week finds its origin in the historic U.S. amendment that banned the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages between 1920 and 1933. During this period, the famous speakeasies emerged, speakeasies where people came for entertainment and cleverly crafted cocktails. This festival pays homage to that era of creativity and rebellion, offering our guests the opportunity to enjoy the magic of classic cocktails that originated during prohibition.
I share with you below the three cocktails we have in collaboration with Brown Forman at Nicoletta during this season:
Boulevardier
A variant of the renowned Negroni that has gained popularity in recent years. With an exquisite blend of Woodford Reserve, cocoa Campari, Vermouth Marni Rosso and cocoa Angostura Bitter, this creation offers a symphony of flavors that will delight your senses. Conceived by the illustrious American writer and expatriate Harry McElhone in 1920s France, this unique version with hints of cocoa will take you back to a time of indulgence.
Old Fashioned
A classic that has stood the test of time. Made with Woodford Reserve, pineapple syrup and aromatic angostura, this cocktail is a tribute to simplicity and sophistication. Originating at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1880s, the Old Fashioned has maintained its status as a cocktail icon. At Nicoletta’s, we serve it with a splash of pineapple syrup for an even more exquisite experience.
Mint Julep
For those looking for a fresh and flavorful experience, I present the Mint Julep. With Woodford Reserve, mango shrub and aromatic angostura, this cocktail is a delight to the palate. Originally from the southern United States, the Mint Julep has become an emblem of spring and summer. At Nicoletta, we prepare it with premium ingredients and a touch of mango for a truly unforgettable experience.
Join us at Nicoletta for an unforgettable experience!
Don’t miss the opportunity to dive into Prohibition Week at Nicoletta and enjoy these creations from April 5th to the 27th, I look forward to toasting together to the good life and good company!
