Italian Mixology: An Art That Transcends Generations
To speak of classic Italian cocktails is to speak of a culture that honors time, ingredients, and the beauty in every creation. At Nicoletta, we have perfected the art of mixology to pay tribute to cocktails born in the most iconic bars of Italy. Each drink tells a story of tradition, sophistication, and impeccable taste, reflecting the Mediterranean lifestyle that inspires us.
Negroni: Sophistication in a Glass
If one cocktail defines Italian elegance, it’s the Negroni. A refined mix of Tanqueray Ten gin, Cinzano Rosso vermouth, and Campari, this drink strikes the perfect balance between bitterness and herbal notes. Originally from Florence, the Negroni has become a global classic. At Nicoletta, we serve it with the respect and precision it deserves. It’s the ideal prelude to a shrimp risotto or truffle pappardelle, creating the perfect pairing for those who appreciate high-end gastronomy.
Americano: The Essence of the Classic Aperitivo
Another must-try is the Americano, a light yet sophisticated blend of Cinzano Rosso vermouth, Campari, and soda. Its freshness makes it ideal for the warm afternoons of Cancún and Playa del Carmen, where Nicoletta provides an intimate setting reminiscent of the terraces of Milan and Turin. It is the aperitif of choice for those seeking something elegant and refreshing before a lagoon-view dinner or a romantic evening on Fifth Avenue.
Garibaldi: A Tribute to Italy’s Colors
With its vibrant orange hue, the Garibaldi is as visually captivating as it is flavorful. Made with Campari and fresh orange juice, this cocktail balances the boldness of amaro with citrus brightness. A traditional Italian drink that evokes Sunday brunches in Rome and the breezy spirit of the Mediterranean coast, it’s a perfect match for starters like carpaccio di manzo or fresh burrata.
Rosé Sunset: Romance in a Glass
For those seeking something sweet and refreshing, the Rosé Sunset is the perfect choice. This cocktail blends Sainte Marguerite rosé wine, Controy, grapefruit juice, natural syrup, and tonic water. Its soft pink hue and delicate flavor are reminiscent of sunsets over the Cancún lagoon or cobbled streets of Playa del Carmen. A drink that speaks of romance and refined taste, ideal for anniversary dinners or special dates.
Italian Mixology: A Sensory Journey in Every Sip
Each cocktail at Nicoletta is crafted using original spirits and liqueurs, ensuring an authentic experience. Italian mixology here is not just a menu section—it is part of our identity. We believe the aperitivo moment is a sacred ritual, a pause to connect with life, with others, and with everyday luxury.
