Cocktail: AFROS Breeze
The ingredients:
60ml AFROS retsina
20ml freshly squeezed lime
15ml sugar syrup
2 dashes of vanilla bitter
freshly ground black pepper
salt for the rim
ice
The preparation
Rub half of the rim of an Old-fashioned type glass with a slice of lime. Dip the glass rim in salt, in order to create a thin, salty layer. Add the ice in the glass and then pour the wine, the lime juice, the vanilla bitter and the syrup. Stir carefully, in order to preserve the elegant effervescence of the wine. Finish by sprinkling with some freshly ground pepper.
The enjoyment
Refreshing, with lip-smacking acidity and tasty salty finish. Light in alcohol, AFROS breeze is ideal for aperitif, but also for pairings with all the spicy and savory dishes of the Greek or ethnic cuisine.
